The USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) was one of the United States Navy\'s aircraft carriers that participated in the Vietnam War. Its Far East Cruise during 1971-1972 coincided with the final years of U.S. involvement in the conflict.

During this deployment, the USS Coral Sea was assigned to provide air support for U.S. and allied forces operating in Vietnam. Some key points about the USS Coral Sea\'s Far East Cruise during this time include:

Air Operations: The USS Coral Sea conducted numerous air operations over Vietnam, including airstrikes against enemy targets, close air support for ground troops, interdiction missions against enemy supply lines, and reconnaissance flights.
Carrier Air Wing: The carrier\'s air wing, which typically consisted of squadrons of fighter jets, attack aircraft, reconnaissance planes, and support aircraft, played a crucial role in conducting these operations. These aircraft were launched from the carrier\'s flight deck to carry out missions over Vietnam.
Naval Operations: In addition to supporting ground operations in Vietnam, the USS Coral Sea also participated in naval operations in the waters off Vietnam, including maritime patrols, naval gunfire support missions, and providing escort for other naval vessels.
Logistics and Support: The USS Coral Sea served as a floating base for its embarked air wing, providing logistical support, maintenance facilities, and medical services to sustain the aircraft and crew during operations in Vietnam.
End of Deployment: The Far East Cruise of 1971-1972 was one of the USS Coral Sea\'s final deployments to Vietnam, as U.S. involvement in the conflict was winding down. The ship returned to its homeport after completing its mission in the region.

Overall, the USS Coral Sea\'s Far East Cruise during 1971-1972 was part of the broader U.S. military effort in Vietnam, providing crucial air support from the sea to U.S. and allied forces engaged in combat operations against North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.
