USS Shangri-La (CV-38)
USS ''Shangri-La'' (CV/CVA/CVS-38) was one of 24 s completed during or shortly after World War II for the United States Navy.
Commissioned in 1944, ''Shangri-La'' participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II, earning two battle stars. Like many of her sister ships, she was decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, but was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s, and redesignated as an attack carrier (CVA). She operated in both the Pacific and Atlantic/Mediterranean for several years, and late in her career was redesignated as an anti-submarine carrier (CVS). She earned three battle stars for service in the Vietnam War.
''Shangri-La'' was decommissioned in 1971 and sold for scrap in 1988.
==Nomenclature==
The naming of the ship was a radical departure from the general practice of the time, which was to name aircraft carriers after battles or previous US Navy ships. After the Doolittle Raid, launched from the aircraft carrier , President Roosevelt answered a reporter's question by saying that the raid had been launched from "Shangri-La", the fictional faraway land of the James Hilton novel ''Lost Horizon''.
