<!-- The first aircraft carrier Independence (CV-22) was launched on August 22, 1942 by New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, N.J.; and commissioned January 14, 1943. This Independence was the first of her class as she was converted from a cruiser hull to serve as an Aircraft Carrier. The Independence saw action early on her career during World War II with successful raids on Marcus Island and Wake Island both in 1943. The ship was severely damaged on November 20, 1943 when a Japanese fighter group launched five torpedoes that scored a hit on her starboard quarter. The ship was successful in returning to Funafuti for repairs and returned to full operational status during July of 1944. After her return to the fleet, she took part in the Palaus Operation which lead to the final assault on the Phillipines in October of 1944. Her most important victory was the sinking of the Japanese battleship Musashi along with the destruction of Admiral Ozawa's carrier group during the Battle for Leyte Gulf. The Independence later saw action during the strike on Okinawa and as well as a few final strikes against mainland Japan. Her final mission was to transport veterans back to the United States following the war. After the transport was completed, the Independence was a test vessel for the Bikini Island atomic bomb. The ship was not sunk by the atomic bomb but was finally decommissioned August 28, 1946 and was finally sunk off the coast of California on January 29, 1951. --> | <!-- The first aircraft carrier Independence (CV-22) was launched on August 22, 1942 by New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, N.J.; and commissioned January 14, 1943.
