USS Langley (AV-3) was the first aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, converted from the collier USS Jupiter (AC-3). The ship entered service in 1922, actively served during the interwar period and at the beginning of World War II, mainly in the Pacific. In 1942, USS Langley was sunk by Japanese air forces during the evacuation of military personnel from Java.
