✪ Coral Sea History ✪
October 18, 1967 - USS Coral Sea was being replenished by the ammunitions ship MOUNT KATMAI during heavy weather. MOUNT KATMAI suddenly veered to port, colliding with CORAL SEA and damaging her two starboard aircraft elevators. The ship continued to perform, though operational techniques had to be modified.
