The converted collier Jupiter (AC-3) was commissioned as the U.S. Navy’s first aircraft carrier—the USS Langley—on 20 March 1922. The ship’s new name honored astronomer and physicist Samuel Pierpoint Langley, who had experimented with flying machines as early as 1898. The Langley was designated CV-1: aircraft carrier No. 1.
