USS Valley Forge was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during and shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. Was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after a war bond fundraiser there. In 1947, she transferred to the Pacific fleet. She was the only aircraft carrier in the region when the Korean War broke out in June of 1950. She served four separate combat tours during the next three years. In October 1952, her hull number changed to CVA-45. In January 1954, she was re-designated as an anti-submarine support carrier. This changed her hull number to CVS-45. With this change, she moved into the Atlantic and served the next few years there. This changed her hull to its final form of LPH-8. She was stationed in the Pacific carrying helicopters for Marines. From 1965 through 1969 she worked supporting combat operations during the Vietnam conflict.

Mis sur cale aux chantiers Vickers-Armstrong (Angleterre) en juin 1942, lancé en décembre 1944 et incorporé dans la Royal Navy sous le nom de Colossus, ce porte-avions de combat léger, prototype d’une série de 9 porte-avions, fut loué à la France en 1946 pour une durée de cinq ans. Rebaptisé Arromanches, la Marine nationale l’acquit définitivement en 1951. Le nom d’Arromanches, destiné à perpétuer le souvenir du débarquement allié sur les côtes normandes en juin 1944, apparaît pour la première fois sur les listes de la Flotte avec ce porte-avions. Condamné en septembre 1974, il est mis en vente le 5 mai 1976. La coque est dépecée par une société de démolition à Toulon.
