Editing USS Cyclops (section)

==Sister ships==
''Cyclops'' had three sister ships, all commissioned in 1913, which were all ill-fated.

* {{USS|Jupiter|AC-3|6}} was a military ship converted to an aircraft carrier between 1920 and 1922 and was recommissioned as {{USS|Langley|CV-1|6}}. ''Langley'' was the first American aircraft carrier and was vital in developing United States naval aviation capabilities. She was converted again between 1936 and 1937 as a seaplane tender and redesignated as AV-3. She was stationed in the Philippines in December 1941 and departed for Australia following the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines. On 27 February 1942, while ferrying fighter planes to Southeast Asia, she was attacked by Japanese aircraft and was hit by five bombs, causing critical damage. After her surviving crew members were rescued, ''Langley'' was scuttled by torpedoes fired by her escorting destroyers.<ref>{{cite DANFS|url=http://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/l/langley-i.html|title=USS Langley (CV-1)}}</ref>
