This is a lot, I suggest you buy the book "The Fall of the Ace Battleship" (by Wang Yishan), a documentary of the naval and air battles of World War II, which is very good.
The attached table shows all the large battleships (light cruisers, heavy cruisers, pocket battleships, battle cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers) lost by the countries of World War II for very detailed reasons, so there are many contents, and it is inconvenient to type.

Check it out at the battleship bar.

<> "Aircraft Carriers and Battleships Born for World War II.
In 1941, as the Second Time War in Europe progressed and tensions with Japan grew, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then the United States, feared that the U.S. Navy would not have a new aircraft carrier to join the fleet until 1944.
In order to prevent this from happening, Roosevelt asked Congress if the light cruisers under construction at the time could be converted into aircraft carriers to strengthen the Lexington-class and Yorktown-class aircraft carriers.
The most mass-produced Type 1 cruiser of the US Navy during World War II.
After the 1941 Pearl Harbor incident, the U.S. Navy began to speed up the construction of new Essex-class fleet carriers, and as if overnight, aircraft carriers replaced battleships as capital ships. The nine aircraft carriers planned to be produced were called the "Independence class", and since they were modified from the hulls of light cruisers, they were narrower and had a shorter flight deck, and were also called light aircraft carriers.
Despite their limited capabilities, their main advantage was that they could be built quickly, so they also received strong support from the ** of the time.
Converted into a light aircraft carrier.
Anticipating combat losses from the Independence-class carriers, the U.S. Navy improved the light vehicle design, and although intended to be carriers from the outset, the design of the Saiban borrowed heavily from the hull shape and mechanics of the Baltimore-class heavy cruisers: this allowed the light carriers to have a wider and longer flight deck.
This also brings other advantages: faster speed, stronger armor, and better air defense. With the expansion of the hull of the new class, it is also capable of carrying larger and larger aviation aircraft than its predecessor.
Badge of the USS Saipan.
The Saiban aircraft carrier was born.
On July 10, 1944, the construction of the USS Saipan (CVL-48), the lead ship of the Saipan aircraft carrier, began at the New York Shipbuilding Company, and the ship was named after the "Battle of Saipan" at that time.
On July 8, 1945, the USS Symbian was launched, and Harriet McCormack, the wife of House Majority Leader John McCormack, became its patron.
However, with the rebuilding of Saipan, the war ended, so the Saipan did not have a chance to perform in World War II. As a result, it was sent to the U.S. Navy into peacetime on July 14, 1946, under the command of Captain John Crommelin, and was tasked with training pilots for the next few years.
Compared to the USS Saipan, which can still withstand the wind and rain, another Alsatian-class battleship is not so lucky.

Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan. Lots of names.
You still have to ask the level.
The most classic Essex-class aircraft carrier in the United States has built 36 of them, and there are many names.

Aircraft carriers, we know, are definitely a manifestation of the naval strength of a country. In World War II, aircraft carriers were also a manifestation of national strength. And at that time, it can be said that many aircraft carriers were sunk.
Let's take a look at which ones have sunk in total? At that time, the main aircraft carriers in World War II were the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan. Other countries do not yet have aircraft carriers.
The first aircraft carrier to sink, the British HMS Valor. The aircraft carrier was the first aircraft carrier in the world to be sunk, and was discovered by a German submarine in September 1939, and we know that the German wolf pack tactics are very powerful. The aircraft carrier was sunk just like that.
After that, it can be said that Britain sank a number of aircraft carriers. The Glorious in 1940. The Emissary in 1942, which was sunk by Japan in the Indian Ocean.
The Bold in 1941, the Ark Royal in 1941, the Athletic in 1942. The Eagle in 1942. The 1943 Valiant was borrowed from the United States by the British.
Japan was the first country in the world to play aircraft carriers. Because after World War I, the Washington Conference limited Japan's naval development. At that time, the naval tonnage of Great Britain, the United States, and Japan was 5:
5:3。So Japan couldn't continue to play ** at that time, and could only play aircraft carriers, because aircraft carriers were not in the restricted category.
At that time, Japan built a total of 25 aircraft carriers, which was counted as renovations. Because the national strength is limited, there are only so many. But after World War II, Japan had only four, and at that time it had the largest number of aircraft carriers sunk in the world.
Next is the United States, which lost 11 aircraft carriers, which doesn't sound much. But throughout World War II, the United States built more than 160 aircraft carriers. A lot of them are given away, but they are not given away for free, they are conditional.
For example, many islands in the Pacific Ocean in the United States were exchanged for the sting of Britain at that time, because Britain had no money, and only in this way did the United States lend you. The main aircraft carriers sunk by the United States are the USS Langley, USS Lexington, USS Yorktown, USS Hornet, USS Wasp, USS Princeton, USS Revenge, USS Impactor and many more.

It can only be the USS Enterprise, an aircraft carrier of the United States, participated in almost all important operations of the US Navy in World War II, was repeatedly wounded, survived catastrophes, and was wounded at the most critical time of the war and prepared to single-handedly take on the Combined Fleet, and received numerous honors, so that the name of the Enterprise will remain forever.
Call Your Name Softly" is right. It seems that it is not a movie interlude, but a song to commemorate the unsung heroes who died in the Great Patriotic War of the former Soviet Union.
Well, the battlefield of World War II is mainly in the Eurasian continent, and Canada is located in North America, I think there should be no war on the territory of Canada, plus Canada is very close to the United States, how can the United States allow the spread of war on their land.
Depth: 150-350 meters.
Drainage: about 1000 tons. >>>More

Arado was disbanded. Messerschmidt (formerly Bavarian Aircraft Factory, not Bavarian Maschinenbau (BMW)), Folkwulf, Heinkel, Dornier, Junkers were all merged and now known as the European Aerospace Defence and Space Corporation (EADS), later renamed Airbus Group. During this period there was MBB (Messerschmidt-Bolkow (I don't know how to translate this...).- Blom), MBB was acquired by the German aerospace company DASA, and later renamed Daimler-Benz Aerospace, the predecessor of EADS Germany. >>>More
