CV-14 TICONDEROGA
Representing the lessons learned from earlier carrier development the Essex class was the ultimate wartime carrier. Although a few feet shorter than the Lexington class carriers these purpose built carriers were much better equipped to defend themselves and conduct air opps. Designed to carry at least 91 aircraft, most would carry over 100 by time the war ended. These carriers were so well built that most remained in service through two more wars and underwent a variety of conversions that extended their operational life.
