During WW2, there were many classes. The primary early classes were the YORKTOWN class, containing the USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and the USS Hornet. The Saratoga and Lexington were the only two carriers of their class, and they were the largest US carriers of the war, until the ESSEX class came on line. Then there were the Light Carriers classes, and the Escort Carrier classes. Totally more than 50 aircraft carriers during WW2.
