The C-type blimp was a patrol airship developed by the US Navy shortly after World War I a systematic improvement upon the B-type which was very suitable for training but of limited value for patrol work. Larger with two motors and a longer endurance. Once again the envelope production was split between Goodyear and Goodrich with control cars being built by the Burgess division of Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and the St. Louis Aircraft Corporation.
