The USS LOS ANGELES was the Navy's longest serving rigid airship. Designated ZR-3, it was built in 1923–1924 by the Zeppelin company in Friedrichshafen, Germany, as war reparation. It was delivered to the United States Navy in October 1924 and after being used mainly for experimental work, particularly in the development of the American parasite fighter program, was decommissioned in 1932. The airship logged a total of 4,398 hours of flight, covering a distance of 172,400 nautical miles (319,300 km). Long-distance flights included return flights to Panama, Costa Rica and Bermuda. It served as an observatory and experimental platform, as well as a training ship for other airships.

The LOS ANGELES was decommissioned in 1932 as an economy measure, but was recommissioned for a period after the USS AKRON crashed in April 1933. Soon returned to storage, the airship was struck off the Navy list in 1939 and dismantled in its hangar in 1940, thus ending the career of the Navy's longest serving rigid airship. Unlike the U.S Navy’s other rigid airships, SHENANDOAH, AKRON, and MACON, the LOS ANGELES' career did not meet a disastrous end. [Source: Wikipedia]
