Saipan-class aircraft carrier
 The Saipan class aircraft carriers were a class of two light carriers [Saipan (CVL-48) and Wright (CVL-49)] 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.
