The Lexington class aircraft carrier was one of the first in the US navy. The Lexington class was originally meant to be class of six battlecruisers, but the Washington Naval Treaty from 1922 put restrictions on battleships and battlecruisers especially so only two were kept and converted to aircraft carriers. Aircraft from the Lexington did sink the Japanese carrier Shoho but Lexington was also sunk at the Coral Sea.
The ship has a total crew of seven in the game. The seventh position controls the three 28mm quad mounts behind just behind the one controled in first position who also steers the ships.
