USS Reprisal (CV-35)

USS Reprisal (CV-35)

The second USS|Reprisal|CV-35 of the United States Navy would have been an "Essex" class fleet carrier. Her keel was laid down on July 1, 1944, at the New York Naval Shipyard, of New York, New York. On August 12, 1945, when "Reprisal" was about half complete, construction was cancelled.

In 1946, the hulk was launched without ceremony to clear the slipway, and was used in Chesapeake Bay for various experiments, culminating on April 1, 1948, in explosives tests. Although inspected during January 1949 with a view to completing her as a CVA (attack aircraft carrier), the plan was dropped and "Reprisal" was sold on August 2, 1949, to the Boston Metals Corporation of Baltimore, Maryland, and, in November 1949, broken up.
