Gurkhas is a correct answer, but not the one I was looking for. Let's see if someone else can get this.

Actually, the Mercury astronaut(s) and a few others people during the 60s/70s were on stamps (I still have a few in a book).

Correct, one NM is also 2000 yards, different from a statute mile.....you have the board.

US or any country? "Became" suggests you're referring to America's
Langley, which was converted to a carrier, but the first commissioned carrier was Japan's
Hōshō, while the
HMS Hermes was technically the first to be laid down, but wasn't actually commissioned until after the Hōshō.

Really? I read it
here.
"USS Langley (CV-1/AV-3) was the United States Navy's first aircraft carrier, converted in 1920 from the collier [coal ship] USS Jupiter"
EDIT: OK, I see what you were saying. You were looking for "What was the Jupiter?"
