Commissioned too late to see action in WWII, USS Boxer (CV-21) was an Essex-class aircraft carrier. She enjoyed a few milestones in her life, including the first ever jet aircraft carrier landing, and a record crossing off the Pacific in 8½ days upon the outbreak of the Korean War when transporting aircraft and troops to Korea. The carrier had three tours of duty in Korea before she was transformed into an interim amphibious assault ship (LPH-4) on January 30 1959.
