Here is a downloadable scan of official US Navy Booklet of General Plans drawings of the Ruler-class (USN: "Bogue-class") aircraft carrier HMS Puncher D79 prepared by Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation circa 1943.

 

HMS Puncher was originally contracted as USS Willapa CVE-53.  "Never seeing American service, the ship was transferred to the United Kingdom as part of Lend-Lease. The escort carrier was renamed HMS Puncher (D79) of the British Ruler class and crewed by the Royal Canadian Navy with aircrew from the Fleet Air Arm. Primarily used as an aircraft transport, Puncher took part in operations along the Norwegian coast towards the end of the war." - Wikipedia.

 

The original scan was obtained from the US National Archives and Records Administration by Mr. Ed Zajkowski and graciously made available to the public by the Historical Naval Ships Association.
