}} | The Currituck-class seaplane tenders were four ships built for the United States Navy during World War II. The role of a seaplane tender was to provide base facilities for squadrons of seaplanes in a similar way that an aircraft carrier does for its squadrons. The four ships of the class were: - {{USS|Currituck|AV-7}}
- {{USS|Norton Sound|AV-11}}
- {{USS|Pine Island|AV-12}}
- {{USS|Salisbury Sound|AV-13}}
The ships were named for features on the United States coast. See also- List of ships of the Second World War
