Here's a pic from in the middle.
The USS Langley, the Navy's first aircraft carrier and sole member of its class, steams off the coast of Baltimore in 1924.

Nice photo, Tom; but I don't get the reference. Or are you starting some inter-war action

No, just between wars.
Great pic Tom!
Well, yeah -- it was converted from a collier, USS _Jupiter_; of the other three ships of the class, both _Cyclops_ and _Nereus_ disappeared during WW1, and _Proteus_ disappeared in 1923. It's believed _Proteus_ was going to become "CV-2", however the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 freed up the hulls of _Lexington_ and _Saratoga_ for conversion.Originally Posted by CappyTom
