Just watched a show about the Battle of Point Judith. It was the last WWII U-boat attack near American soil (Near Fort Greene, RI) which involved two blimps (K-16 & K-58). The U-Boat sank a coal ship, then was attacked by surface ships, and the two blimps. Interesting fact. The US Navy had 134 K-class blimps during WWII.
A K-class airship of Blimp Patrol Squadron (ZP) 14 overhead of USS Langley (CVL-27) off Norfolk, Virginia, on 6 October 1943.
