Commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 4
A Curtiss TS-1 fighter of Fighter Squadron (VF) 1 crashed on the Langley’s flight deck in 1924. Originally designated as a TS or “turret scout,” the TS-1 was originally designed to fly from platforms on the gun turrets of the various battleships of the 1920s. However, they were never used in that capacity. Indeed, the best that can be said of the little fighter, which was also designed to fly in a floatplane configuration, was it did give early American carrier aviators their initial experience operating from carriers.
