Submarines and Aircraft Carriers
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
CVN is the designation for nuclear powered aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
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.
The number and type of planes carried by navy ships can vary depending on the size and purpose of the ship. For example, an aircraft carrier can carry around 60-70 aircraft, including fighter jets, helicopters, and surveillance planes. On the other hand, smaller ships like destroyers or cruisers typically carry 1-2 helicopters for various missions.
