USS Coral Sea Cameo

Interesting cameo appearance of my old home... The USS Coral Sea was in the movie, "The Right Stuff". The government sent representatives to the ship to invite Alan Shepard to join the space program. The ship was used in the movie. In the clip as Officer Shepard is approaching, you can even read the name "Coral Sea" on the fantail. I spent a year and a half serving on this ship. One other interesting note is that Alan Shepard himself, actually deployed on that same carrier as well, making the scene even more historically accurate and not just a 'Hollywood' prop for the movie.
