Notes
Trivia
- USS Gambier Bay (CVE-73) was the 19th ship of the Casablanca-class escort carriers, laid down and launched in 1943. The Casablanca-class were the most numerous class of carriers ever built, with 50 ships constructed over a period of just two years from 1942 to 1944.
- Gambier Bay was one of the escort carriers belonging to Task Force 77.4.3, aka "Taffy 3", which held off the much larger Japanese Center Force during the Battle off Samar. Gambier Bay would be sunk by naval gunfire from an unidentified ship in the engagement, making her the only US aircraft carrier sunk in surface combat during the war.
- Due to their status as mass-produced ships, escort carriers like Gambier Bay were often called "Kaiser Jeeps" or "Jeep Carriers", with mixed degrees of affection.
- Due to the US Navy wanting 18 (originally 16, but then they demanded two additional ships towards the end of the year) Casablanca-class ships by the end of 1943, Kaiser Shipyards personnel who worked on USS Gambier Bay referred to her as the "Bonus Ship", being the aforementioned 19th ship of the class built.
- She is probably the second deepest-known wreck, due to the fact she was sunk directly above the Philippine Trench. Just like Choukai , she probably lies in over 26,000 feet (~8,000 meters) of water, well beyond the reach of manned submersibles. Her Approximate Sinking Location 11°46′N 126°09′E.
