 The History of the USS Cabot - CVL-28
We are very proud of the light carrier USS Cabot (CVL 28) as it was credited with 252 enemy aircraft shot down by Air Groups 29 and 31, eight destroyed by AA batteries, 96 destroyed on the ground and 265 vessels hit by torpedoes or bombs from the air groups.

Task Group 58.2 steamed at 30 knots on 1 April, while the Cabot was darkened in battle condition II and material condition B. All four boilers were on the main steam line, and she proceeded to a position to attack Woleai Island.

 USS Cabot, George Noel deLange
The FIRST Cabot was originally a 14-gun brig, purchased in Philadelphia during November 1775 and used in the Revolutionary War.
So it was that the Wilmington (CL-79) was renamed Cabot on 23 June 1942, converted while building, and launched on 4 April 1943, reclassified CVL-28 on 15 July 1943 as an Independence Class Aircraft Carrier and commissioned finally on 24 July 1943, Captain M. Shoeffel in command.
It was never in the limelight as many other carriers were during the war due to the secret nature of many of its missions with the other fast carriers of the third and fourth fleets.
