Saipan-class aircraft carrier
The ''Saipan''-class aircraft carriers were a class of two light carriers and built for the United States Navy during World War II. Like the nine ''Independence''-class light carriers, they were based on cruiser hulls. However, they differed from the earlier light carriers in that they were built from the keel up as carriers, and were based on heavy rather than light cruiser hulls. Completed too late for the war, they served as carriers until the mid-1950s, then were converted into a command ship and a major communications relay ship in the late 1950s, and in those roles served until 1970. They were both scrapped in 1980.
==Origins and design==
Intended to offset expected wartime losses of the smaller ''Independence''-class light carriers, the two ships of the ''Saipan'' class were designed from the keel up as aircraft carriers, with many improvements based on experience with the ''Independence'' class.
The ''Saipan'' class was based on the hull and machinery of the 13,600 ton ''Baltimore''-class heavy cruiser hull rather than the smaller ''Cleveland''-class light cruiser upon which the ''Independence'' class was built, allowing better seakeeping, improved hull subdivision, enhanced protection, greater magazine volume, a stronger flight deck, an expanded air group and a slightly higher speed than in the ''Independence'' class.〔http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/usnshtp/cv/cvl48cl.htm〕 Compared to their light cruiser half-sisters, they were eight feet wider in beam to accommodate the size and weight of the hangar and flight deck.
