Probably the Yorktown class: USS Yorktown, USS Hornet, USS Enterprise, and the single USS Wasp. USS Lexington had already been sunk prior to the Guadalcanal campaign. And the Light & Escort carriers hadn't arrived on station yet. USS Ranger was kept in the Atlantic, considered too vulnerable for Pacific work.
