The Shenandoah, the Los Angeles, the Akron and Macon, all USN. The Navy also had 16 classes of blimp. The Army had blimps, more actually than the Navy during the 1920s, but they operated no rigid airships. A rigid airship has an envelope that uses an internal framework to keep it's shape, while a blimp uses the pressure of the lifting gas to maintain shape. The Hindenburg was a rigid airship, the Goodyear Blimp is, duh, a blimp. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:967001249] in ATTN: Star...
