What is the situation of Lexington battle cruiser? Some people say that only cc 1 and cc3 are changed to CV2 and CV3, but others say that.

Well, the Lexington class was designed by 19 16, and 19 19 modified the design and included it in the plan.

His original intention stems from the deduction of the United States Naval Academy. At that time, he thought that the United States needed to build a high-speed battle cruiser to carry out enemy reconnaissance and harassment tasks. Therefore, the speed of Lexington class is designed to be 33 knots, far exceeding the battleships of other countries.

Shortly after the ship was built, the naval powers signed the Washington Treaty and agreed not to hold a shipbuilding competition.

Some existing warships and warships under construction must be abolished.

But some of them with high completion progress can be transformed into aircraft carriers.

According to the Washington naval treaty, the Americans transformed two ships, Lexington and Saratoga, into aircraft carriers, and the other four ships under construction were abandoned and demolished.

Similarly, the Japanese aircraft carriers Akashi and Kaga were transformed from battle cruisers and battleships.
