• The first Coral Sea (CVE-57) was an escort aircraft carrier named Alikula Bay during construction, renamed just before launching in 1943, renamed to Anzio a year later, and decommissioned in 1946.

• The second Coral Sea (CV-43) was an aircraft carrier in service from 1946 to 1990, including nearly a decade of action in the Vietnam War.
