How many Carrier did USA have in dec. 1941 ?

From following page
https://bluejacket.com/ww2_12-07-41_carriers.html

"On 7 December 1941, the U.S. Navy had seven aircraft carriers (CVs) and one aircraft escort vessel (AVG) in commission. The CVs were considered warships and the AVG was considered an auxiliary vessel. In addition to these eight ships, the keels of five other CVs had been laid."

If I remember correctly five of these was in the pacific or on route to the pacific.

How many was build during WWII ? According to wiki 151 aircraft carriers were built in the U.S. during World War II; 122 of them were Escort Carriers.

Molon must soon get a few of these carrier/escort carrier.
