Timeline of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy
Main article: List of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy
This is a bar graph showing a Timeline of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
Notes
- The carriers are listed in order of hull number.
- Ships with hull numbers 35, 44, 46, and 50 through 58 were cancelled or never commissioned and are not shown.
- 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, sold, scrapped, scuttled, sunk as a reef, etc., as appropriate to show last time it existed as a floating object.
