Is a "Light Aircraft Carrier" (CVL), despite being designated in the game as a "Remodeled Special Carrier" (改装特務空母) at Mk.II.

This is reflected in her equipability exceptions only.

Gameplay Notes

Light Carriers (CVL) are weaker CV, with usually more permissive Routings. They are capable of attacking submarines.

Escort Carriers (CVE) are CVL with a base ASW stat. They are:

Able to be placed in the main fleet of a Transport Combined Fleet,
Required for some Expeditions' requirements,
Able to perform Opening ASW, as other CVL cannot reach enough ASW to trigger them.

Special Mechanics

Mk.II

When setuped for Night Air Attack, if submarines are present, she will focus the submarines instead, using a shelling attack.

Stats Exceptions

Base

Has 2 equipment slots.

Kai

Has 3 equipment slots.

↑ Casablanca-class carriers alone were being produced at a rate of roughly one every two weeks by 1944.
↑ The United States Navy originally classified escort carriers as auxiliary aircraft escort vessels (AVG), then auxiliary aircraft carriers (ACV), before settling on escort aircraft carrier (CVE), highlighting a new combatant role.
↑ This line is shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development.

Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Escort Water Princess.

General Information

She is named after Gambier Bay on Admiralty Island.
She was launched on the 22nd of November 1943.
Sunk on the 25th of October 1944 in the Battle of Samar.
On the 24th of June 2022, it was revealed that Caladan Oceanic, under guidance and support from both Parks Stephenson and Victor Vescovo, made several attempts to find her wreck off the coast of Samar. In a bid for good luck, Parks placed his Nendoroid of Gambier Bay inside the submersible DSSV Limiting factor in the hopes that this will help find the wreck (he did the same for USS Johnston in 2021); however, all the attempts have failed to locate Gambier Bay's wreck.
As per the records and ship logs during the battle, it was more likely that it was direct hits from Yamato's 46 cm guns that tore through Gambier Bay. This confirms that USS Johnston and USS Gambier Bay have been sunk by Yamato gunfire.

Update History

She was added on the 17th of February 2018 as Winter 2018 Event E4 reward.
She got her Mk.II on the 15th of July 2021.

Misc

Gambier Bay was sunk by naval gunfire from an unidentified ship (often presumed to be Chikuma or Yamato), making her the only US aircraft carrier sunk in surface combat during the war.
