(Interesting... only six of the 77 carriers hulls were ever sunk by enemy action! The Langley, Lexington, Princeton, Hornet, Wasp, and Yorktown, all from 1942 to 1951.) I didn't think any Carrier was sunk after WWII in 1945.

Oops! You're right. The Independence (CVN 22) was sunk as a target in 1951... the Princeton (CVN 23) was sunk in 1944. My eyes went to the wrong number. Make that all 6 sunk from 1942 to 1944. Thanks!
