The Essex class aircraft carrier stands as one of the most iconic and influential naval vessels in modern history. Originally designed and constructed during World War II, this class of carriers played a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of the conflict and went on to become a cornerstone of post-war naval power. The first ship of the class, USS Essex (CV-9), was launched in 1942, followed by a total of 24 carriers of this class.
