French Blimps operated by the USN
Records concerning the history of French airships in US Navy service are fragmentary. A number of airships of various classes were operated by the US Navy (USN) during World War I from the French Naval Base at Paimbœuf, which was designated a US Navy Air Station from 1 March 1918 onward. It appears that at least 13 French manufactured airships were operated by the USN from Paimbœuf; six were eventually shipped to the United States and one was returned to France before the armistice. The Navy operated or ordered four Astra-Torres type airships, one T-2—the ''Captain Caussin'', two CM types, and three or four VZ types.
==Astra-Torres blimps==
The Astra-Torres airship was in length with a diameter of , and was powered by two engines. The USN operated AT-1, AT-13 and AT-17. AT-18 was ordered but cancelled. Missions were flown by the first two airships during the war and included training, convoy patrol, mine spotting, and anti-submarine operations. There is no record of flights in the United States by the three AT airships which were shipped to there after the armistice. AT-1 was stricken from Naval records in July 1920 at the Naval Aircraft Factory; AT-13 was stricken in October 1920 at Hampton Roads, and AT-17 was transferred to the US Army at Langley Field in October 1919.
