USS Santee (CVE-29)
The second USS ''Santee'' (CVE-29) (originally launched as AO-29, following reclassification as an escort carrier, was originally ACV-29) was launched on 4 March 1939 as ''Esso Seakay'' under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 3) by the Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company at Chester, Pennsylvania, sponsored by Mrs. Charles Kurz; acquired by the United States Navy on 18 October 1940; and commissioned on 30 October 1940 as AO-29, with Commander William G. B. Hatch in command.
Prior to her acquisition by the Navy, ''Esso Seakay'' had been operated by Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso) on the west coast. During her commercial service, she set several records for fast oil hauling. Its original model was a type T3-S2-A1 tanker.

After commissioning, ''Santee'' served in the Atlantic. When American neutrality ended on 7 December 1941, ''Santee'' was carrying oil for a secret airdrome at NS Argentia, Newfoundland. In the spring of 1942, ''Santee''s conversion to an aircraft carrier was begun at the Norfolk Navy Yard.
