Target ship, remote control. edit
It says in the body of text that it was converted to radio control. Then a sentence about how it was used to transport troops. Then it talks about how it was used to "train carrier pilots". I assume that by "training carrier pilots", it means that it was used as a target while under remote control, but I don't see what the remote control has to do with transporting troops. Could the order or wording be changed? --.45Colt 03:41, 10 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs)
- The text is chronological; nothing about being converted for remote control means that she couldn't have been used like an ordinary ship with a full crew aboard. Just need to disengage the remote activators or whatever.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Picture from 1910? edit
Please correct the underwriting of the picture. It could not show her one year before being launched.
