Yes, thank you!
Of course I forgot to add this in my first post: I’m also looking for how many of each aircraft were embarked on these carriers in that era.

F-4/F-8 airwings
During Vietnam, the F-8 operated off of the smaller WWII era Essex class carriers as the F-4 was too heavy. An Essex boat, like the Oriskany, would have F-8’s, A-4’s, and A-1’s, the smaller and lighter birds while a boat like the Kitty Hawk would operate F-4’s, A-7’s and A-6’s.
Hope this helps-
