Trivia
Unlike other most ship types, "CV" is not the abbreviation of "Aircraft Carrier", and thus its origin is uncertain.
The most likely explanation is the evolution of the designation "AV", whose original meaning at the beginning of American naval aviation was that of an auxiliary ship (designated by "A") having the capacity to carry "heavier-than-air aircraft" (designated by "V", in opposition to "AZ" for auxiliaries to "lighter-than-air aircraft"[1]). The first aircraft carriers thus being conversions of AV[2], and evolving from the status of "auxiliary" to that of "cruiser", they therefore adopted the designation "CV", with "AV" keeping the same meaning, but whose role was restricted to "transport of 'seaplanes'.
Other proposed meanings are:
- "Cruiser Voler" (in English and French), a name resulting from the above explanation, but improper and probably never used,
- "Cruiser aViation", with "CA" being already used to designate heavy cruisers,
- "Carrier Vessel" (with almost no founding).
