商船航空母舰

商船航空母舰（MAC）是二战中英国皇家海军和荷兰海军的加装了最低限度航空设备的大型货轮或油轮,用作护航航空母舰的补充。。與護航空母相比,最主要的分別在於商船空母仍然保留貨運能力。而運用上商船空母會與商船混合編隊,而護航空母則會在商船的視野外編成護航艦隊。它们建造的本来意图就是在护航航母大批入役前充当过渡舰只。[1]

HMS Activity, formerly Empire Activity, an 护航航空母舰. Merchant aircraft carriers were introduced to provide air cover for convoys until sufficient escort carriers became available to replace them.
