Summary[edit]

Description The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Antietam (CVA-36) launches a Douglas F3D Skyknight while a Grumman F9F Panther makes a touch-and-go landing on the angled deck. In December 1952, Antietam became the first U.S. carrier with an angled deck, and photos like this should emphasize it usefulness. The carrier was operating out of Quonset Point, Rhode Island (USA), at that time.
