Talk:Roma (airship)

Navy or Army?
The article says the Roma was a USN ship, but the Langley Field Times, the New York Times pdf (which actually contrasts the Navy and Army airships) and the post-disaster Flight article all say Army. Is this an error, or did both services operate the ship at different times? Grover Snodd (talk) 18:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Atlantic Crossing
So, how did it get from Europe to America? did it fly under its own power, or was it transported by ship? --BjKa (talk) 12:21, 20 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Major Thornell wanted to fly it to the states, but the request was denied permission. It took them eight weeks to pack the airship in wooden crates. It was transported by the USS_Mars_(AC-6) to Langley.C5mjohn (talk) 20:52, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Motors
The "Design" section mentions Ansaldo motors, but the "Specifications" section speaks of Liberty motors. This should be explained. I guess there was a replacement at some point in time? --BjKa (talk) 12:21, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
