“Jeep carriers’’ were smaller versions of what were called ‘’’fleet carriers’’. They were usually converted transport ships, lightly armored and with planes whose main job was anti-submarine warfare.

Thanks, again. A friend of mine's father was on a "jeep" that was sunk during some Pacific battle. I'll have to ask her which it was. She said her dad never wanted to talk about it.

That was a very enjoyable lecture, btw.
