According to the USN website the 'carriers' you claim to have seen would have been:\n\n# 4 "USS Ranger" (CV 4) 4 Jun 1934 /18 Oct 1946 - Sold for scrap 31 Jan 1947 to Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. \nAND\n# 6 "USS Enterprise" (CV 6) 12 May 1938 /17 Feb 1947 Sold, 1 Jul 1958. \n\nNow these WERE Aircraft Carriers.  However, they were a LOT SMALLER than to-day's 'Flat-tops'.  But then neither of them have been around, lately.  \n\nYou don't say WHEN YOU SAW them, so ..... the question is: "How long ago did you see them?"\n\nIf you saw these ships, recently, they could well have been  Amphibious Assault Ships - LHA/LHD/LHA(R).\n\nTheses are the largest of all amphibious warfare ships; and they resemble a small aircraft carrier.  They are capable of Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing (V/STOL), Short Take Off Vertical Landing (STOVL), Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) tiltrotor and Rotary Wing (RW) aircraft operations; contains a welldeck to support use of Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) and other watercraft.\n\nThey would, typically, carry:\nAircraft: 12 CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters; 4 CH-53E Sea Stallion helicopters; 6 AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft; 3 UH-1N Huey helicopters; 4 AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters. (planned capability to embark MV-22 Osprey VTOL tiltrotors).\n\nThe only TWO that fit your description/numbering are the "Wasp Class" LHD's:\n\nUSS Boxer (LHD 4), San Diego, CA\nUSS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6), San Diego, CA\n\nHowever, both these are normally home-based (as seen above) in San Diego - so it's unlikely, but not impossible, they would have been off the Norfolk coast.  Alternatively, you may have seen:\n\nUSS Nassau (LHA 4), Norfolk, VA\n\nAs you can see she is also numbered '4' - but there are only five in her class (Tarawa Class).\n\nThere is also the LPD's - which have a 'normal' front-end, with a large flight deck - at the rear.  However there is no #6, but there is a #4. USS Austin (LPD 4), Norfolk, VA - and, as you can see her home-port is Norfolk.\n\nFor any additional information - and data on these - suggest you visit: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/our_ships.asp

I suppose you could write to them and ask. I'm not sure they give out information to just anyone though.\nContact details here:\nhttp://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/server/show/nav.4329\n\nThis site might also help:\nhttp://www.royalmarines.org/index.html

Still looking though. Is that ship still being used?

The link below is a comprehensive list of WW2 machines and weapons.  It provides information on where they were used, photos, accounts of their use and is just really spot on for school use.
