Navel-Gazing — The USS Los Angeles over Monmouth Beach and North Long Branch (Underwood Photo, 1926). The German-built zeppelin was the US Navy’s longest-serving rigid airship. The 656-foot blimp with crew of 40 had a max speed of 75 mph and 5,800-nautical-mile range. Used mainly to observe/experiment; the helium-filled, gas-powered dirigible was scraped in 1939.
