Title: USS United States (CVA-58)
Caption:
Description: Preliminary design model undergoing seakeeping tests at the David Taylor Model Basin, Carderock, Maryland, circa 1947. This is an early version of the CVA-58 design, without catapult sponsons. Note the folding smokestacks in the down position, as they would have been during flight operations. Aircraft models on the flight deck appear to represent the F7U fighter and a notional heavy attack bomber. Copied from a photograph in File F-3, B-36 Carrier Charactoristics File in the records of OP-23, held by the Operational Archives Branch, Naval History and Heritage Command, 1982.
