Aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard commissioned. The USN now has eighteen fleet carriers in service.

The Japanese from the period 1941 to 1945 built just 17 carriers of all types while the US built 18 fleet carriers and some 141 carriers of all types in the same time frame.

Aye Carumba!!!

The Japanese had no business going to war with us. That is a great article at Combined Fleet.” I like the comparisons of carrier production shown in “What if the Japanese won at Miday?” The answer is that the Japanese are still overwhelmed by the production of American shipyards.

Unfortunately, we could not do that today.
