USS "Liddle" (DE-206/APD-60), a "Buckley"-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, was named in honor of Pharmacist's Mate Third Class William P. Liddle (1919–1942), who was killed in action, while serving with the 1st Marine Division, during the Battle of Guadalcanal on 19 August 1942.
 He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.
A carrier battle group (CVBG) consists of an aircraft carrier (designated CV) and its large number of escorts, together defining the group.
 The first naval task forces built around carriers appeared just prior to and during World War II.
 The Imperial Japanese Navy, IJN, was the first to assemble a large number of carriers into a single task force, known as Kido Butai.
 This task force was used with devastating effect in the Imperial Japanese Navy's Attack on Pearl Harbor.
 Kido Butai operated as the IJN's main carrier battle group until four of its carriers were sunk at the Battle of Midway.
 In contrast, the United States Navy deployed its large carriers in separate formations, with each carrier assigned its own cruiser and destroyer escorts.
 These single-carrier formations would often be paired or grouped together for certain assignments, most notably the Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway.
 By 1943, however, large numbers of fleet and light carriers became available, which required larger formations of three or four carriers.
 These groups eventually formed the Fast Carrier Task Force, which became the primary battle unit of the U.S. Fifth and Third Fleets.
The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought from 4 to 8 May 1942, was a major naval battle between the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and naval and air forces from the United States and Australia, taking place in the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War.
 The battle is historically significant as the first action in which aircraft carriers engaged each other, as well as the first in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other.
USS "Jobb" (DE-707) was a "Rudderow"-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, named after Richard Patrick Jobb, born in McCormick, Washington, on 17 March 1920.
 He enlisted in the Navy on 28 February 1942.
 He was at Guadalcanal for America's first amphibious operation of the Pacific War.
 Hearing a call of a patrol subjected to enemy fire near the Namara River on 26 January 1943, Pharmacist's Mate Third Class Jobb rushed forward 150 yd through intense enemy fire to aid the wounded.
 He continued to dress casualties under fire until he was himself hit and killed.
 For his courageous devotion to duty, Jobb was posthumously awarded the Silver Star.
This is an order of battle for the Battle of the Coral Sea.
 The battle, fought during 4–8 May 1942, was a major naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II between the Imperial Japanese Navy and Allied naval and air forces from the United States (U.S.) and Australia.
USS "Durant" (DE-389/WDE-489/DER-389) was an "Edsall"-class destroyer escort in the United States Navy, which served briefly in the United States Coast Guard.
 She was named for Pharmacist's Mate Third Class Kenneth W. Durant.
USS "Frament" (DE-677/APD-77) was a "Buckley"-class destroyer escort in the United States Navy.
 She was named for Pharmacist's Mate Third Class Paul S. Frament (1919–1942), who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for heroism in the Guadalcanal campaign.
The Battle of the Philippine Sea (June 19–20, 1944) was a major naval battle of World War II that eliminated the Imperial Japanese Navy's ability to conduct large-scale carrier actions.
 It took place during the United States' amphibious invasion of the Mariana Islands during the Pacific War.
 The battle was the last of five major "carrier-versus-carrier" engagements between American and Japanese naval forces, and pitted elements of the United States Navy's Fifth Fleet against ships and aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Mobile Fleet and nearby island garrisons.
 This was the largest carrier-to-carrier battle in history.
USS "Loy" (DE-160/APD-56), a "Buckley"-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, was named in honor of Gunner's Mate Third Class Jackson Keith Loy (1922-1942), who was killed in action aboard the "San Francisco" (CA-38) off Lunga Point, Guadalcanal on 12 November 1942.
 For his actions, Gunner's Mate Loy was awarded the Navy Cross.
The second USS "Henry W. Tucker" (DD-875) was a "Gearing"-class destroyer of the United States Navy.
 She was named for Pharmacist’s Mate Third Class Henry W. Tucker (1919–1942) who was killed in action during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May 1942 and posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
