Best Answer

Even if you exclude the smaller aircraft carriers in World War 2, there were still many more than 5 or 6. The US Navy commissioned 23 aircraft carriers of the Essex class during the war, not to mention others in US service, and those used by the British and Japanese navies.

Aircraft carriers are a long range striking arm of a naval air force. Used properly they can decimate enemy fleets as the US carrier fleet did at Midway to the Japanese. In the Atlantic, British aircraft carriers were decisive to hunting down German ships. Not having aircraft carriers was possibly one of the biggest mistakes for the German navy.
