Timeline of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy with names

This is a bar graph showing a Timeline of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy, displaying both the ships' names as well as their hull numbers. It is an alternate version of this timeline, which displays only the hull numbers.

Notes

  • The carriers are listed in order of hull number.[1][2][3]
  • Ships with hull numbers 35, 44, 46, and 50 through 58 were cancelled or never commissioned and are not shown.[4]
  • While the chart does include light carriers, it does not include amphibious assault ships nor escort carriers with the exception of the Langley which is included for historical context.
  • In general, labels for ships of a single class are aligned vertically with the topmost ship in a column carrying the class name.
  • In an attempt to show the full timeline of the actual existence of each ship, the final dates on each bar may variously be the date struck, lost in action[5], sold, scrapped, scuttled, sunk as a reef, etc., as appropriate to show last time it existed as a floating object.
