This is the small, blue version of one of the most famous carriers ever to serve the US Naval Fleet. She participated in multiple conflicts, the most noted the Libyan crisis in the 1980s. USS Coral Sea (CV/CVB/CVA-43), a Midway-class aircraft carrier, was the third ship of the US 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, VA, on 14 June 1943. She was reclassified as a "Large Aircraft Carrier" with hull classification symbol CVB-43 on 15 July 1943. Her keel was laid down on 10 July 1944 in Shipway 10. She was launched on 2 April 1946, sponsored by Mrs. Thomas C. Kinkaid and commissioned on 1 October 1947 with Captain A.P. Storrs III in command. Before 8 May 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. The USS Coral Sea was retired in 1989. This patch does not have velcro attached.

The USS Forrestal was the first of the supercarriers, larger than wartime vessels and her design has been the basis for all subsequent carriers (with the angled deck). She entered service in the Fleet in 1956, participating in Mediterranean conflicts on her maiden cruise in 1958. The infamous "Forrest Fire" occurred on the following deployment, killing 134 seaman and wounding 64. After repairs, she served for many more years until finally becoming the most recent training carrier.
