List of United States Navy escort aircraft carriers

United States Navy ship types

This is a list of escort aircraft carriers of the United States Navy. For classes, see list of aircraft carrier classes of the United States Navy.

Note that many of the lower-numbered carriers were transferred to the Royal Navy, where they received new names. For instance, "Breton" (CVE-10) became HMS "Chaser" (D32). The new names are mentioned in each article individually.
