USS Leyte (CV-32)
USS ''Leyte'' (CV/CVA/CVS-32, AVT-10) was one of 24 s built during and shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the first US Navy ship to bear the name. ''Leyte'' was commissioned in April 1946, too late to serve in World War II. She spent most of her career in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean, but also saw service in the Korean War, in which she earned two battle stars. She was reclassified in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), then as an Antisubmarine Aircraft Carrier (CVS), and finally (after inactivation) as an aircraft transport (AVT).
Unlike most of her sister ships, ''Leyte'' received no major modernizations, and thus throughout her career retained the classic appearance of a World War II ship. She was decommissioned in 1959 and sold for scrap in 1970.
==Construction and Commissioning==
''Leyte'' was one of the "long-hull" ships. She was laid down as ''Crown Point'' on 21 February 1944 at the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Virginia, and renamed ''Leyte'' on 8 May 1945 to commemorate the recent Battle of Leyte Gulf. She was launched on 23 August, sponsored by Mrs. James M. Mead, and commissioned on 11 April 1946, with Captain Henry F. MacComsey in command.
