The C stands for Cruiser - an aircraft carrier is considered a "cruiser" ship.

V stands for "Voter," which is the French word for "to fly."

So...a cruiser you fly planes from is a "cruiser voter" or "CV."

What was the largest naval fleet in history?

The answer depends greatly on definitions. By many accounts the Allied invasion fleet assembled for D-Day was history's largest, including roughly 5,000 vessels, and more than 100,000 people. If we define "largest" to mean greatest firepower, then the largest fleet might be that assembled for the attack on Iraq in 1990, which involved many nuclear aircraft carriers and a variety of heavy and light surface vessels.
