  1.  @karlvongazenberg8398  As a Carrier, a naval aviator would be more fitting. Ensign Jesse Brown would have been fitting. https://youtu.be/Cuo1sia2-EI

  4.  @M167A1  Ah, I beg your pardon? For the Color of his skin? Try throwing such shade to John Stennis and Carl Vinson... Rather White segregationists and not a Navy Cross between them.

  6.  @Duke_of_Petchington  Define build? Neither had the funds, facilities or population to support a big navy. Nor have enemies at sea.

  9.  @igoriosalamonqe4706  Doubtful. Close hatches, cut lines and the Paratroops have nothing to do.

  14.  @Thecrownswill  Not every ship was sent. The main threat was still U Boats. The heavy ships on the Bismark hunt, were not needed to do ASW.

  15.  @alexlightining  The Navy had no further use for U-505 after the war. Experts had thoroughly examined her in Bermuda, and she was moored derelict at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, so the Navy decided to use her as a target for gunnery and torpedo practice until she sank.[22] In 1946, Rear Admiral Gallery, who opposed the Navy's plans for U-505, told his brother Father John Gallery about this plan, and Father John contacted President Lenox Lohr of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) to see if they would be interested in it. The museum already planned to display a submarine, and the acquisition of U-505 seemed ideal.[22] The US government donated the submarine to the museum in September 1954, and Chicago residents raised $250,000 for transporting and installing the boat. Coast Guard tugs and cutters towed the boat through the Great Lakes, making a stop in Detroit, Michigan in July 1954.[33] The museum dedicated it on 25 September 1954 as a permanent exhibit and a war memorial to all the sailors who lost their lives in the first and second Battle of the Atlantic.-Wikipedia

  18.  @jimhully8785  Broad question.... The secondary guns tend to be dual purpose. So they are used in the AAA role mostly. They also are used for close in naval gunfire support in all the Amphibious landings. As far as surface actions, in close ranged actions like at Samar they were in high use.

  19. That is not what the Ship is named for.
