Summary edit

Description The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CVA-16) steams out of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Washington (USA), circa in September 1955, headed for her initial sea trials after SCB-27C & -125 conversions. USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42), in the background, is well into her SCB-110 modernization. USS Midway (CVA-41), in the middle distance, is in the very early stages of (or being prepared for) her own SCB-110. Another Essex-class carrier is visible on the right, either USS Essex (CVA-9) or USS Yorktown (CVA-10) during their SCB-125 conversions.
