Anyone know where there's an online copy of the famous pre-war picture that shows like 3 US carriers in line ahead formation?

I am clueless, but this picture looks nice

Ooops. That link didn't work. Here is the picture it pointed to, and also the link to the site where I found it.Originally posted by 11Bravo

BTW, what where the names of those 3 carriers you were interested in?

The first one would be the Lexinton. It's 8" gun turrets around the island sort of give it away. The Saratoga had a stripe on the funnel. Don't know when it would have been put on but early I would imagine.

THanks, the first one is probably out of the same series, and will be useful. Famous pic, shows 3 (4?) carriers bows on, in line ahead, going through middling heavy seas. Seen it a thousand times, can't find it in any of my refs now that I'm actually looking for it...of course, LOL.
