A York City-class aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, it entered service on 20 October 1941 and was the third and final ship of this class. Commissioned a few weeks before Pearl Harbor, the ship was built before World War II and its dimensions were limited by international naval treaties of the 1930 s. The first mission was the Doolittle air raid in April 1942, the first American air raid on a Japanese home island and a response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. He continued to fight in the Pacific theater, participating in historic campaigns such as the Battle of Midway, but suffered a fatal blow in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands in October 1942.
