Awesome piece of Naval history. The deck piece measures 24″ by 13″ by 1.5. Commissioned on 3 June 1945, Lake Champlain did not participate in World War II, but did serve as a transport, bringing troops home from Europe as part of Operation Magic Carpet. She participated in the Korean War but spent the rest of her career in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. In the late 1950s, she was redesignated as an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). Lake Champlain had a unique modernization history. Therefore, she was the last operational US aircraft carrier with an axial flight deck. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you for looking.
