40 years ago, the USS CORAL SEA (CV-43) “hosted” the carrier trials of the F-111B.

I found this bit of history covered in more detail at the USS CORAL SEA’s website.

Octopussy movie On that page, you’ll find a link the Ship’s Store, where you can purchase a 20 min DVD of the trials, as well as three links to the background story of the TFX program (done by SteelJaw Scribe buy One Hour Photo

) about the navalized version of the Air Force’s F-111A.
