        Right, and so were the A-7 Corsair and the F-7 Crusader.  I've
been able to find out the principle classes of carrier after the war were
the Forrestal class, the Midway class and the Enterprise class.  What
I'm looking for is what types of aircraft were assigned to each class
and how many?  For example a modern day carriers have air wings comprising
the following aircraft:
         Nimitz Class:                          Kittyhawk Class:
        24 F-14A Tomcat                         24 F-4 Phantom or F-14 Tomcat
        24 A-7E Corsair or F/A-18 Hornet        24 A-7 Corsair or F/A-18 
Hornet
        10 A-6E Intruder                        10 A-6E Intruder
         4 KA-6D Intruder                        4 KA-6D Intruder
         4 E-2C Hawkeye                          4 E-2C Hawkeye
         4 E-6B Prowler                          4 E-6B Prowler
        10 SA-3 Viking                          10 SA-3 Viking
         6 SH-3H Sea King                        6 SH-3H Sea King
                                                 1 C-2A Greyhound
        This list is only typical, and may change due to operational
requirements, and aircraft phase-out, but it's typical of what I'm
looking for for the Post WWII - Pre Viet Nam war Carriers like
the Forrestal, Midway and Enterprise classes.  I also understand there
was another class of carrier after the war, nicknamed the C-F(?) class
that might have been a WWII carrier with an add-on angled flight deck,
but I still don't have a positive reference on that class yet.  Hope
this sheds some light on what I was looking for.  Thanks for the
input.
