Ahhh Duh (supper). Motherland everyone knows they carried : two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickle all on a sesame seed bun.

and there was a resently declassified case of a jap carrier that was about ten stories tall at the middle

Good question...and just how super could that supper be sitting out there on that deck?

But wouldn't the supper get cold sitting on the deck?  Cold meals after a hard days work on the flight line is not a good way to keep spirits up.

You can't even call the Essex-class super carriers, either. They were of somewhat heavier displacement but not much bigger in size or airgroup than Enterprise after her 1943 refit. The Essex-class weren't even the largest carriers of the war. Shinano out-displaced both by almost double, but she was intended for use as a support ship, not a true fleet carrier.

As was said, the Forrestal-class was the first of what we would define as a "super carrier." Midway was the first American vessel to be given the appelation.
