Airship ZR-2 Seen as Naval Scouting Asset and Cost Concerns
The ZR-2 airship, larger than life and nearing Navy service, would primarily perform observation and scouting with possible use in fire control and harbor defense. It carries 41 tons, costs near 5 million dollars to operate, requires about 500 crew, and sits in a vast Lakehurst hangar with plans to house ZR-3 nearby.
