context_page_description: The K-class blimp was a class of blimps built by the Goodyear Aircraft Company of Akron, Ohio for the United States Navy. These blimps were powered by two Pratt & Whitney Wasp nine-cylinder radial air-cooled engines, each mounted on twin-strut outriggers, one per side of the control car that hung under the envelope. Before and during World War II, 134 K-class blimps were built, configured for patrol and anti-submarine warfare operations and were extensively used in the Navy’s anti-submarine efforts in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean areas.

  The restored control car of K-47 is displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida. The K-47 was upgraded to the ZP3K configuration before it was retired in 1956.
