Lexington-class conversions followed this flattop; however\, the first keel-up aircraft carrier\, USS Ranger\, was constructed at Newport News Shipbuilding. These new ships revolutionized naval warfare during World War II. \nThomas Heinrich\, chair of the Department of History at Baruch College\, City University of New York\, is the author of Warship Builders: An Industrial History Of U.S. Naval Shipbuilding\, 1922-1945. \nCome hear Heinrich and Quarstein discuss the development of aircraft carriers in Hampton Roads and the role area shipyards played in producing the fleet that defeated the Axis powers around the globe. \n\n\nHampton Roads History: The Birthplace of American Aircraft Carriers\nMay 14\, 2021 • 12 p.m. (ET)\n \n\nImage credit: Aircraft Carrier Ranger 1934.
