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.
