Escort carrier, first classifed as AVG-39, then ACV-39 and since 15 July 1943 CVE-39 USS Cordova as part of the Bogue-class and in British service Ruler-class. The U.S. Navy (USN) started with the hull classification Aircraft Escort Vessels (AVG) for escort aircraft carriers nicknamed ‘jeep carriers’ or even ‘baby flattop’ by the USN and ‘Woolworth Carrier’ by the British Royal Navy, that became Auxiliary Aircraft Carriers (ACV) on 5 August 1942 followed on 15 July 1943 Escort Aircraft Carriers (CVE). The last classification supplied an better impression of their combat and support roles.  Being (much) smaller and slower than a standard fleet carrier were they mainly used for convoy duties, supporting amphibious landings or just as a kind of cargo ship especially for transporting aircraft across the ocean.
