The Bogues were completed from 1942 on and were a mass-production implementation of the Long Island concept, with lessons learned. Based on Maritime Commission standard C3 hulls, and assigned standard type C3-S-A2, their construction took as little as 11 months, from keel laying to completion. They had an island and something like a real hangar, impressive cruising range, and surprisingly good sea keeping.

The typical air group was 16 fighters and 12 torpedo bombers. The ships sometimes functioned as aircraft transports, and in this role they could stow as many as 100 aircraft, a third in the hangar and the remainder on deck.

All were completed in Puget Sound shipyards, but some were sent to the Atlantic immediately after shaking down. We list only those units seeing actual service in the Pacific.
