When the subject of small carriers comes up, everyone assumes they need
to perform the same missions as big ones.  What about convoy escort?
A small carrier with a few escorts ought to do just fine when it comes
to escorting a small to medium size merchant convoy.  Wasn't this the
purpose of the Jeep carriers in WWII?
