A rather strange operation, the 2 newest and biggest carriers in the fleet, Essex (CV-9) and Yorktown (CV-10), having just gotten out to Pearl Harbor for the first time (June - July 1943), were sent back to San Francisco UNESCORTED (though admittedly at 25 knots, they did have an escort near Hawaii) to pick up multiple hundreds of vehicles and transport them back to Hawaii. Their flight decks were completely inoperative on the way back, being covered mostly with trucks.
