AIRCRAFT CARRIER ID

(1/1)

JANS:
Hi

As a kid living in Hong Kong this aircraft carrier visited but my parents memories of it are vague and appear incorrect. They thought it was a US aircraft carrier on RR from the Vietnam war visiting sometime between April and June 1970 and was the USS Eagle. Online I  can't find a USS Eagle aircraft carrier. I can find an HMS Eagle aircraft carrier but photos of it look different to the photo I have. The ship in my photo has a drooping flag which could be the Stars and Stripes and the aircraft appear to be Phantoms. Any help identifying the ship would be much appreciated.

Thanks Jan

Bob Scott:
Definitely US Navy. The Phantoms have US markings

Robert J Smith:
US carriers that severed in Vietnam with dates

Thanks for the information, by a process of elimination I think it might be a Midway Class aircraft carrier, possibly the USS Coral Sea. I'll do more checking.
