Editing USS Akron (section)

===Third accident (August 1932)===
Another accident hampered training on 22 August, when ''Akron''{{'}}s tail fin became fouled by a beam in Lakehurst's massive Hangar No 1 after a premature order to commence towing the ship out of the mooring circle. Nevertheless, rapid repairs enabled eight more flights over the Atlantic during the last three months of 1932. These operations involved intensive work with the trapeze and the F9C-2s, as well as the drilling of lookouts and gun crews.<ref name=rs/>{{rp|66–67}}

Among the tasks undertaken were the maintenance of two aircraft patrolling and scouting on ''Akron''{{'}}s flanks. During a seven-hour period on 18 November 1932, the airship and a trio of planes searched a sector 100&nbsp;mi wide.<ref name=rs/>{{rp|67}}
