The Goodyear ZWG was an airborne early warning airship in the United States Navy airship designation scheme, in which the ZW prefix marked that role and the ZWG designation was added in 1947. In 1955 interest grew in using non-rigid airships as part of the national early warning network, and the ZWG-1 was designed specifically for that mission and ordered. It was subsequently replaced by a much-modified ZPG design, which became the ZPG-3W. The related development listed for the ZWG is the N-class blimp, the family to which the ZPG-3W belongs. The article on it is a stub with no specifications filled in, so its size, engines and performance are not stated.
