Product Description
USS Shangri-La (CV-38) was one of 24 Essex class fleet carriers built by the US Navy during and immediately after WWII. Entering service between the end of 1944 and early 1945, the ship participated in the Okinawa campaign and hitting targets along the Japanese mainland's coastlines, including damaging the light cruiser Oyodo and the fast battleship Haruna.
The carrier was not present at the signing of the Japanese surrender, but entered Tokyo Bay two weeks later, returning home in December; the following year she was engaged in Operation Crossroads (the atomic tests in Bikini Atoll), then put in reserve in 1947. Being used for training once again in 1951, Shangri-La quickly was taken in for work in drydock, being one of the few carriers to receive SCB-27C and SCB-125 modernizations at the same time.
Deployed to the Far East from 1956 to 1960, she returned to home waters for more training cruises and deployment for a brief time in the Mediterranean. In 1969 Shangri-La was reclassified as CVS (anti-submarine warfare carrier) and made various war tours in Vietnam.
Put in reserve in 1971, she remained mothballed until stricken in 1982 and used for spare parts for her sister Lexington, but was finally sold for scrap in 1988.
