Yeah. There was a lot of stuff they did with Ranger that the stopped doing with Ranger . Wasp was another smaller carrier. They had a bit of Treaty Tonnage left over after the Yorktown's and they made a smaller Yorktown out of it. The didn't want to send it to the Pacific because it was to lightly built - but with other carrier losses - they did - and it was lost too. .

@epl803 Yes. Lexington and Saratoga looked so much alike they put a big stripe down the sides of the Funnels on Saratoga - which you can see in that picture of all the American's Carriers. .

@williammagoffin9324 Hōshō (I copied the "ō's" from you(!!) survived? Hunh. Yeah - this is a Ranger video and we've just been discussing US Carriers. As to survivors - this is also, so it seems, just about Fleet Carriers. There were scads of Light and Escort Carriers. Don't know if any of those were Pre-War Carriers though ... and ... I'm to lazy to look it up ... .

@kwad8 Yeah. They wanted to make it easy to see I guess. My understanding is that they were having people from one ship land on the other a lot so that's what they did. .
