History & Modifications
Wolverine:
Work on conversion started at Buffalo, New York in early 1942. The superstructure was
removed and a wooden flightdeck with overhanging sides and stern was added. A small
island structure was added to simulate real conditions and add space for 4 funnels.
Wolverine carried no aircraft and spent her career in the Great Lakes for pilots from
local airfields to use for 'touch and gos'.
