ESCORT AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

Escort Carriers (also known as Jeep Carriers) were small carriers used by the American, British, and Japanese Navies during World War II. US Navy Escort Carriers were used in the Atlantic to combat the U-Boat threat, while in the Pacific they provided air support during amphibious assaults, served as aircraft transports, and as back-ups to fleet carriers. There were 151 carriers built for the US Navy during World War II; 122 of these were escort carriers. The Casablanca Class numbered 50 ships, making it the largest class of aircraft carrier ever built.
