Just to be techinical, the correct term is "Fast Carriers;" "Fast Attack" was a designation given to American nuclear-powered attack submarines.
![]() But why they chose the Wasp to represent all US carriers (and then did not name her the Wasp) is beyond me, since that was the least representative (only 1 built) and shortest lived (5 months, only 2 on the PTO) of all the US carriers in the PTO, whereas there were 2 Lexingtons, 3 Yorktowns, and 14 Essexs. Sort of like the whole deal with the Medals . . . |

Not so much misnaming, as the wrong period, CVA being a post-war term. Alot of the Essex class were re-designated as CVAs in the 1950s
