USS Ticonderoga (CV-14)
USS ''Ticonderoga'' (CV/CVA/CVS-14) was one of 24 s built during World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name, and was named after the capture of Fort Ticonderoga in the American Revolutionary War. ''Ticonderoga'' was commissioned in May 1944, and served in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, earning five battle stars. Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). She was recommissioned too late to participate in the Korean War, but was very active in the Vietnam War, earning three Navy Unit Commendations, one Meritorious Unit Commendation, and 12 battle stars.
''Ticonderoga'' differed somewhat from the earlier ''Essex''-class ships in that she was longer to accommodate bow-mounted anti-aircraft guns. Most subsequent ''Essex''-class carriers were completed to this "long-hull" design and according to Phillip St. John Ph.D. they were referred to as the . At the end of her career, after a number of modifications, she was said to be in the ''Hancock'' class according to the Naval vessel register.
''Ticonderoga'' was decommissioned in 1973 and sold for scrap in 1975.

The ship was laid down as ''Hancock'' on 1 February 1943 at Newport News, Virginia, by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., renamed ''Ticonderoga'' on 1 May 1943, and launched on 7 February 1944, sponsored by Miss Stephanie Sarah Pell. She was commissioned at the Norfolk Navy Yard on 8 May 1944, Captain Dixie Kiefer in command.
