USS Franklin is more notable, but essexes have supreme survivabilty already.
USS Atik (AK-101) Q ship
SS Grayling
USS Zeilin APA-3 a converted Pacific Mail Ship, a USPS/post office ship that was commissioned in 1929 and taken over by the Navy. He told me was a cook and during GQ he manned the AA guns.

The ship was repaired and continued fighting the war… Go onto Wikipedia and look up this ship
