| | Light aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Late in the war, two Baltimore-class heavy cruisers were converted to Saipan-class light carriers, they were completed after the war's end and after very brief lives as carriers, ended prematurely by the rapid advances in aircraft technology brought on in the 1950s, were converted to command and communication ships. |
 | | Some modern references call the French Charles de Gaulle a "light carrier," though at 40,000 tons and nuclear powered she dwarfs the vast majority of the world's aircraft carriers with the exception of the American supercarriers. |
