   Stowaways on the dirigible ZR-3 will be fitted with a parachute and “gently tossed overboard,” officers of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH warned on Aug. 25, 1924. The airship was being flown to Lakehurst, N.J., for its handover to the U.S. Navy. The vessel was christened as the USS Los Angeles in a ceremony held in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 25, 1924. It was dismantled in 1939.
