Group of J.A.Fell - U.S.S. Coral Sea 1964-68


Description

Jay A. Fell’s mementos consist of various patches revolving around his active duty in Vietnam from 1964-1968 on board of the USS Coral Sea. Also ID card, a handful of fotos of him.

USS Coral Sea (CV/CVB/CVA-43), a Midway-class aircraft carrier, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the Battle of the Coral Sea. She earned the affectionate nickname "Ageless Warrior" through her long career. Initially classified as an aircraft carrier with hull classification symbol CV-43, the contract to build the ship was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding of Newport News, Virginia, on June 14, 1943. She was reclassified as a "Large Aircraft Carrier" with hull classification symbol CVB-43 on July 15, 1943. Her keel was laid down on July 10, 1944, in Shipway 10.

Before May 8, 1945, the aircraft carrier CVB-42 had been known as USS Coral Sea; after that date, CVB-42 was renamed in honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the late President, and CVB-43 was named the Coral Sea.

Coral Sea was one of the last U.S Navy carriers to be completed with a straight flight deck, with an angled flight deck added on during later modernizations. All subsequent newly built U.S Navy carriers have had the angled deck included as part of the ship's construction.
