How does the game handle the second incarnations of the Hornet, Lexington, Wasp and Yorktown in the campaign games? I don't find a second version of these carriers and I don't find any extra Essex Class carriers to account for them.

or, look in this other thread and recognize, that if you loose a carrier, it will come back as an essex 400 days later...
to shorten it
oh, and NO, this way is not discussable, cause Gary G. want it this way.

Status: offline 		well, if i remember the thread correctly, then any "old" CV that get lost before 1943 (i belive 1.6.43 or was it 1.1) will be a new essex-carrier that will arrive after 400 days.
this should show the capability of us industry to produce more as you need. I think this is correct, cause a loss of "all" carriers had meant a lot more shipbuilding in the states, maybe they had built the whole shipyards... so, make just a test... kill a us carrier and look in the ship arrive screen if it respawn with 400 (399) days... it should work

Status: offline 		I have no intention of lossing a carrier just to see when it eventually gets replaced ). I wont even intentionally lose the smaller carrier, as that gives the Japanese victory points.
