What American ships survived world war 2?
There were a bunch of them that survived, but USS Nevada and USS Saratoga are two of the more famous ones because they were commissioned before the US entered the war and still afloat when the war ended.
What were the names of the aircraft carriers before the USS Essex CV 9 and what are the names of the other Essex class carriers of World War 2?
The carriers that preceeded the Essex were the Langley, Lexington, Saratoga, Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise, Wasp and Hornet. There were 24 Essex class carriers. Hull number ten was the Yorktown, followed by Intrepid, Hornet, Franklin, Ticonderoga, Randolph, Lexington, Bunker Hill, Wasp, Hancock, Bennington, Boxer, Cowpens,Bon Homme Richard, Leyte, Keasarge, Orisikany, Antietam, Princeton, Tarawa, Valley Forge and hull number 47, the Phillipene Sea. A technical point: the Tarawa, Princeton and the Phillipene Sea wer not commissioned before WWII ended but they are "Essex" class and their hulls were laid down before V-J Day. Hulls 9-21, 31-37, 40, 45, and 47 are all Essex Class. Some are called Ticonderoga class, but they are only stretched Essex Class Carriers.

Were the Japanese successful in their goal to sink Americans aircraft carriers?
Successful enough. But it's awful hard to sink "one" aircraft carrier, only to have it replaced with "ten" more! Germany & Japan were defeated by the production line. For every tank, plane, and ship destroyed by the axis (Germany/Japan-Italy surrendered in 1943)...at the very minimum, 10 more took it's place! Another words, if at the start of WWII America had 7 carriers...at the end of it, America had 100 aircraft carriers! If America had 2,000 airplanes before WWII, at the end of it, America had 100,000 airplanes. The axis was out-produced/pure and simple.

Can planes blow up huge ship and carriers?
I would think so, considering US aircraft destroyed innumberable Japanese ships, from landing craft to aircraft carriers. US Aircraft destroyed the Yamato. and that was in World War 2, well before the high-tech stuff we have today.

Is the USS Nimitz CVN68 decommissioned?
Nope - she's still running. Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she underwent a major refueling and overhaul in 2001. The Nimitz-class carriers are designed for a 50 year lifespan, so she's still got a lot of years left in her. As an example of nuclear carrier longevity, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is currently on her final deployment before decommissioning later this year. The very first nuclear powered carrier, she was originally commissioned in 1961.
