who ever designed it must've been an idiot, the ramp goes down instead of up!
I'm guessing french:p
and as tom pointed out, it can't be the Lexington, look at the bow, the ramp thing there is flat, not going up or down

I think the Langley was the first Flatop
HMS Argus was the first flat-top (1918 - she was converted from an Italian merchant vessel).
HMS Furious was the first operational carrier (1917: forward deck only - converted from a cruiser ).

Thanks Pei, I guess its just the American in me but I was thinking USS Langley as the First 'American" Aircraft carrier, never really other countries, 20 years of military training will do that sometimes.

Hehe
We Brits invented a lot of things; aircraft carriers, football, cricket. It just took other countries to actually do them right

The movie "Task Force" has some good USS Langley footage in it - as well as all sorts of other cool combat footage - the movie ain't bad either
