'''PCU Reprisal CV-35''' was a member of the Essex class carriers of WWII. Due to hostilities lessening in the Pacific Theatre and a multitude of other Essex carriers, construction was cancelled on August 12, 1945 when she was about 52.3% completed. She was launched later that year to clear the slipway and perform bomb damage assessment.
