The UNSC Coral Sea is a UNSC Navy corvette assigned to the Home Fleet in 2552.[1]
History
In October 2552, Coral Sea saw action at the Battle of Mombasa. The Coral Sea, the UNSC Dusk, UNSC Paris, and UNSC Redoubtable were the only ships close enough to pursue the UNSC In Amber Clad and the Prophet of Regret's assault carrier, Solemn Penance, into Slipspace. Coral Sea quickly outran the Dusk during the chase, losing contact with the prowler.[1] The Coral Sea arrived to Installation 05 and, to avoid being discovered by the Covenant, it hid close to Delta Halo's surface and devoted most of its time to scanning the ringworld. Eventually, the Coral Sea encountered a Covenant infantry detachment attempting to tap into one of Delta Halo's critical power conduits. The information recollected by the Coral Sea's crew was used in the post-war era to reconstruct Delta Halo locations for research and War Games simulations for SPARTAN-IV supersolders.[2]
Trivia
- The Coral Sea is likely named in reference to the Battle of the Coral Sea, a World War II naval battle in May 1942, in which the American navy was able to halt and completely deter Japan's attempt to invade Australia from New Guinea.
