|Performance={{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
===Pros===
''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has the unfortunate distinction of being the slowest aircraft carrier in the game. If discovered, it can't get away from anything - not even ''battleships''. Keep an eye on your map and start moving long before enemies get near detection range.  The carrier itself starts with no AA armament whatsoever. It does have four 127 mm cannons which will sink a heavily damaged destroyer on occasion, but their range is pitiful. It is highly recommended to stay back and hide, or try and stay with the team.
* Pro 1
Her Aviation consists of the standard Rocket, Bomber and Torpedo Bomber complement.
* Pro 2
Due to the extremely poor accuracy of the bombers, rocket attack planes should be used as long as you have any left, as they are significantly better at actually hitting their target and deal quite decent damage. To use torpedo bombers perfectly, You must get the torpedo planes to within 4 seconds from the target to ensure the hit


|Pros=<!-- write below -->
===Cons===
* Has aircraft in large squadrons where most ships of that tier have little or no anti-aircraft capabilities.
* Con 1
* Not easily detected, around 10km detection from the surface if exposed.
* Con 2
* Weird hitbox of the ship may confuse attackers and make them miss their shells through the large gap between the hanger and the flight deck.
* Once upgraded, it gains some AA that can fend for itself against equivalent tier planes.
* The rocket planes are quite powerful
* Bombs have enough penetration to hit citadels


|Cons=<!-- write below -->
* Incredibly slow, top speed being around 15 knots and slow turning, requiring more space to turn than most battleships and carriers.
* Like all low-tier carriers, it's hopeless once found.
* Nearly no armor, getting citadeled by most HE shells easily.
* The Bombers have extremely poor accuracy.
* The Torpedo Bombers' torpedos are very slow at a speed of 35 knots
* All planes, with the exception of the rocket planes, maneuver slowly, often making it hard to land well-positioned hits.
* Even when upgraded to Hull B, the anti aircraft does not consist of any long-range guns, therefore making it unable to produce AA shell explosions

|History=<!-- write below -->
<gallery>
USS ''Langley'' (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy's first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier USS Jupiter (AC-3), and also the U.S. Navy's first electrically propelled ship. Conversion of another collier was planned but canceled when the Washington Naval Treaty required the cancellation of the partially built battlecruisers Lexington and Saratoga, freeing up their hulls for conversion to the aircraft carriers CV-2 and CV-3. ''Langley'' was named after Samuel Pierpont Langley, an American aviation pioneer. Following another conversion, to a seaplane tender, Langley fought in World War II. On 27 February 1942, she was attacked by dive bombers of the Japanese 21st and 23rd Naval Air Flotillas and so badly damaged that she had to be scuttled by her escorts.

Langley — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier IV Aircraft Carrier.

The achievements of aircraft carriers in the British Royal Navy significantly affected the navies of other states, including the U.S. Navy. Coal transport Jupiter was converted into an aircraft carrier and named USS Langley. The carrier was used to refine technology and for training naval aviation pilots. The ship was later converted into an aircraft transportation vessel. In this new role, she actively participated in the war in the Pacific, transporting U.S. Air Force aircraft. On February 27, 1942, she was heavily damaged by Japanese aircraft and was later sunk by the ships of her own escort.
