Better armed and armored than their predecessors, many ships of this class sustained major damage from air attacks but none was ever sunk. The Franklin (CV-13) survived a kamikaze attack in October 1944 that ripped a 40 foot hole in her flight deck. Five months later two bomb hits caused far greater damage and ended her war. With 80-100 aircraft, Essex-class ships could launch devastating raids on enemy pargets. With their ability to sustain 20 knots astern for more than an hour they could retrive their aircraft over the power is battle damage made it impossible to use the landing ramp on the stern.
