There is an incorrect statement in NatGEO video there: first AC sunked in history was HMS Glorious during Norway invasion year before.

Courageous was originally a first world war cruiser but converted to a carrier in the period between the two world wars.

Doesn't take much skill to research 2 carriers were sunk before the Coral Sea battle. First carrier sunk by other carrier based aircraft. Interesting history about the 2 Royal Navy carriers sunk by Germans. They spotted Swordfish planes and realized that carrier must be close.
