Yes, it's the Shangri La, CV-38. Served in two wars(WWII and Vietnam) but missed the one in between, Korea. The angled deck is indeed the innovation I was referring to, and no US carrier ever since has ever been built without it. The connection to the Doolittle raid is its name--when asked where the bombers launched from, FDR grinned and said that they launched from a secret base "at Shangri La".
The ship became known as "Old Razor Blades" by its crew in the 1960s because every time they turned around, something else broke. My dad sailed on the Shang for two cruises to the Med--66 and 68--with fighter squadron VF-13. By then, of course, she was showing her age. The one WestPac cruise to Vietnam in 1970 was no exception--the ship spent much of its 7 month deployment either in port or in drydock for repairs. First the refrigeration units went out....then they sheared a shaft.....then they lost steering control while in a turn. Then they lost a screw while launching aircraft. There was the constant problem of the evaporators never being able to provide enough drinking water. And then, there was so much cross-contamination of jet fuel in the fresh water that the smoking lamp was out while the men took showers! The #3 elevator cable unraveled, forcing the ship to DaNang to get it replaced. The port side cat was notorious for giving cold cat shots. So, the crew took to calling her "old razor blades" because they felt she was ready to be scrapped and turned into the aforementioned blades. This ship was a legend in the fleet--it was well known that the Shang had been deprived of the needed funding to get it into proper shape. One old sea story told of the crew having to send their dirty laundry home from the Med because they couldnt wash the laundry salts out of the clothes on board.
A side note, my dad was an aviation machinists mate from 65-69. He worked on the J57 jet engines in an F-8 Crusader squadron. On the 1968 cruise, he was flight deck qualified, so he could sit in the cockpit and run up the engines for over-the-side afterburner checks. He became a plane captain--navy speak for crew chief--of the squadron's "100" jet. One of the pilots, a young LT, flew that plane and crashed it--he had a ramp strike. Since there was a war on, VF-13 was not going to get a replacement jet anytime soon, so my dad, the jet engine mechanic/plane captain, ended up being a cook because there was nothing else for him to do!
