This is a list of escort aircraft carriers of the United States Navy. For classes, see list of aircraft carrier classes of the United States Navy.
Note that many of the lower-numbered carriers were transferred to the Royal Navy, where they received new names. For instance, Breton (CVE-10) became HMS Chaser (D32). The new names are mentioned in each article individually.
