Fifty escort aircraft carriers were mass-produced at Henry J Kaiser's Vancouver Shipyard in Washington State and are dubbed the Kaiser Carriers. The Kaiser input into shipbuilding during the Second World War with yards built on the Columbia River in the which employed 40,000 and luckily were able to use hydroelectric power from two dam projects built during the Great Depression. An incredible 141 military ships were built in just 44 months: 10 Liberty variants, 30 tank landing ships (LST), 50 Kaiser Class escort carriers, 31 attack transports (APA), 12 troop transports (AP) and two floating drydocks. Earlier escort carriers had been conversions of mercantile hulls or naval replenishment ships. Henry J Kaiser, one of America's greatest industrialists, promised the US Navy he could deliver fifty escort carriers in less than two months. His yards in Portland OR and Richmond CA had reduced construction time of the Liberty Ships from more than one year to under 90 days. The US Navy, at the time of order, was concerned that there might not be any new aircraft carriers delivered to the fleet until 1944 and was anxious to both replace early war losses and expand the force as soon as possible. This decision is truly one of the most overlooked actions of the "Arsenal of Democracy" which helped to bring the horrific combat of the Second World War to it completion. Fitting out for service was conducted in Astoria, Oregon at the mouth of the Columbia River in order to keep the building yard clear for more construction. Five were lost in battle: USS Gambier Bay sunk by gunfire from Japanese surface ships in the Battle of Samar, a part of the larger Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, USS St Lo was lost in this same battle by a combination of Japanese gunfire from surface ships and being struck by Kamikaze, USS Liscome Bay was sunk by a Japanese submarine torpedo just three months after commissioning in 1944, USS Ommaney Bay was sunk by bombs from a Japanese aircraft in 1945, USS Bismar.
