USS Rabaul (CVE-121)
Afloat immediately after launching at the Todd Pacific Shipyard, Tacoma, Washington, 14 July 1945. At this time she had been constructed only up to the hangar deck level.
Though completed and delivered to the Navy in mid-1946, this ship went directly into the Reserve Fleet and had no commissioned service.
