Fastmongrel,
The circumstances surrounding all USN carrier losses in the Pacific, with the exception of Langley, meant that the overwhelming majority of the ship's crew, aircrew, and squadrons members were saved.
For the most part, those personnel were used as cadre for new construction. Crews saved from a sinking carriers weren't assigned en masse to a ship under construction, but significant numbers were assigned to new construction and that helped newly commissioned carriers reach operational readiness all the sooner. Similarly, many of the recovered aircrew and squadron members were assigned as cadre for new squadrons.
