At least they are not manned.

Every military blimp made was lost or destroyed and many good men died - never was a good idea.

Greetings Gashog:

Every military blimp made was lost or destroyed and many good men died - never was a good idea.

The exception being USS Los Angeles (ZR-3), the only rigid airship attending her own decommissioning ceremony.

One can't help but be fascinated by those magnificent men and their flying machines from Flying Aircraft Carriers - USS Akron (ZRS-4) and USS Macon (ZRS-5).

Cheers,
OLA
