None were necessary since the British Isles provided plentiful air bases. However, in the Mediterranean theater, US escort carriers (aka Jeep carriers or CVE's) were used to support amphibious landings. These were small aircraft carriers capable of operating about 30 aircraft each, which left the larger US fleet carriers with 70-80 aircraft each available for the Pacific theater.
