The Essex-class aircraft carriers' design built on the large amount of experience from previous aircraft carriers, allowing its capabilities to reach a new peak. After U-country joined the war, its astonishing industrial power was unleashed and Essex entered service on December 1942. The Essex-class aircraft carriers were the most numerous class of capital ships and remained as U-country's main force of aircraft carriers after WWII. In the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the U-country aircraft carrier force which included Essex completely wiped out the Japanese aircraft carriers. In the Battle of Okinawa, she participated in the attack against Yamato. In the Gulf of Tonkin incident, an Essex-class aircraft carrier proved vital to the war's success. During the Cold War, Essex received modifications and continued to be active, only retiring in 1969.
