[edit] CVS

There are several redirects from 60's era NATO CVS ships that were conventional carriers not just Invincible class SVTOL mini-carriers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.112.40 (talk) 08:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Ccncur. Conventinal carriers were first used as CVSs, before the advent of helicopter and VSTOL aircraft for the role. I'm going to try to expand the aritcle to give better coverage of the these types, particularly the Essex calss ships. - BillCJ (talk) 18:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Many of the light carriers listed had an ASW/strike mission profile where is the line drawn? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.179.100.72 (talk) 05:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Air Wings

It would be useful to also include the ASW aircraft flown from various carriers ie: Breguet Alizé on Indian and French carriers, S-2 Tracker on Brasillian, US, Canadian, Argentine, Dutch, and Australian ships, but beginning in the 70's as most nations were drawing down and retiring their fixed wing carrier based ASW forces the US introduced the S-3 Viking. While the British and other carriers started with Fairey Gannet they like most other services through the 60's and 70's switched to helicopters like the Westland Sea King, SH-3 Sea King, and later the SH-60 Seahawk, in addition to many other ASW helicopters flown from from CV, LPH, and conventional warships. If I find the time I will try to get these into this page, but need help with some of the older American Essex class ships. 6-4-2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.179.100.72 (talk) 18:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

By what criteria are the light carriers listed, many did little in the way of ASW, thers phased into and out of that role. Epecially the Essex class ships. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.174.182 (talk) 22:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
