One place or another, I managed yesterday to finish reading Osprey New Vanguard #114: US Navy Aircraft Carriers 1922 - 45: Prewar Classes. I found it to be a pretty good description of the warships built before WWII. Most of the most famous of the US carriers of the war come under this book's purview, and the book has a lot of little detail the make it interesting. Worth a quick look.
