Historical Background
With the development of the war, US President Roosevelt emphasizes to make a lot of air carriers. To this end, the Maritime Committee proposes a mass production program, with the powerful strength of the American industry, only one year, the US shipyard has created 50 escort aircraft ship and named Casablan card.
The above-level ship is built by Henry J. Kaiser in Vancouver in Washington, Oregon S.B. Company. There is further improvement in design than Borid, which makes up for the disadvantage of taking off aircraft in harsh weather conditions. Among them, the "Adeborripi Islands" and "Belleville" once only used 76 days to build, showing the huge potential of the American industry.
Escorting the aircraft carrier, in addition to escort, often takes the transportation task. On July 19, 1944, there was "Qajarin" in the Pacific Ocean in the Pacific Ocean, and its flight deck is full of approximately 60 F4u pirate fighter. The ship is equipped with SM radar, the simple booming rod of the upper building.
Casa Branda can be considered the most famous first-level escort aircraft carrier, not only in the number of buildings, but also in the performance of the war. Due to the limitations of speed and armor, escort aircraft carriers generally do not directly participate in the battle with the Japanese army, support the opposite bombing and support tasks, but in October 1944, the Six Casablan card escort aircraft carrier "unfortunate" The most powerful Japanese waterfront fleet - the first motor fleet, thus launched a small dog fighting, detailed, please refer to the article about the Wright Bay War for details. Due to the fight of the US military, the Japanese fleet was hit hard, and it only lost two escort aircraft carriers (Shengli and Ganbier Bay).
Loss five in the war: Bismarck Sea (CVE-95), Ganbier Bay (CVE-73), Lischem Bay (CVE-56), Omani Bay Number (CVE-79), San Rome (CVE-63). The remaining cars will be sold in the war.
Difference
Navigation aircraft carrier in terms of tonnage and carrier, the main gap is:
1, the main thing is Escorting aircraft carrier uses civil standard structure and materials, pipelines, etc., the resistance to damage is too bad, and participating in battle will cause huge losses due to small damage, (it is difficult to have a war, basically one fingers)
2, the power is much smaller than the warship, and the speed is too slow.
This is the initial and basic understanding of the navigation aircraft carrier, so registered as an escort ship rather than the combat ship. The early use of early World War is also mainly based on fleet air defense, anti-submarine and other low intensity auxiliary operations, and serves as aircraft transport ship.
However, with the development of combat experience, this has changed:
1, although the highest speed of escort aircraft carrier is very low, but low speed is not bad When sailing at a cruise speed, there is not much difference between the main fleet (still there is a gap, so generally not a corps)
2, the popularity of the British and American high-performance ejector (World War II, Escort aircraft carrier uses a bulletizer, which is different from Japan's completely no dicase. It can use large aircraft without relying on high-speed synthetic wind. In the middle of the Second World War, there is a torpedo squadron or dive in the middle of the United States. Machine team.
3, to the mid-Second World War II proved that the aircraft can completely suppress the artillery ship, regardless of the Atlantic, the Pacific Ocean, the Allies have achieved sea email, and the threat is reduced, plus it after a few heavy losses, British America Its esconto, the circuit is replaced, and the fire explosion explosion has been reinforced, and some of the structures, although it is still very fragile, it is no longer a fight.
4, the air carrier capacity of escort aircraft carrier is not weak, and there are many quantities, and after the heavy aircraft can be equipped, the uniform escort aircraft carrier is considerable.
Because of the above points, although the registration and classification has not changed, from 1943, the United States has already believed that the escort aircraft carrier has the function of the aircraft carrier, and started to use some escort aircraft carrier to bear the fleet The aircraft carrier's task and assignment escort aircraft carrier to join the fleet.
5, the most important thing is that the combat capacity of the escort aircraft carrier has obvious differences. The main goal is to operate with a small range, the main task is to cooperate with the aircraft carrier. Uniform warning ability. Mutual cooperation, full power.
The first
The United States has studied the modification of the cargo ship for the fleet escort before the war, but that is not to develop a design escort aircraft carrier. In order to fight the needs, the United States quickly built the first escorted aircraft ship with a hull of a cargo ship, CVE 1 Long Island was born on June 2, 1941.
Drainage: 7886 tons (standard), 13499 tons (full load) reform
length: 150 meters
width: 31.1 meter
Water: 7.8 meters
power: single-axis 4 diesel engine, 8500 horsepower
speed: 16.5
Woman: 127mm1 door; 76mm2 door; 12.7mm4 door < / p>
carrier: 21
crew: 970 people (including Air Force)
Long Island, the United States is still very fast to provide several commercial boats for the United Kingdom. Modified emblem ship. In the United States, the United States has built more than 100 escorted aircraft ships, and the early days of use the hull of the cargo ship.
