First clash of carriers was the Battle of Coral Sea.
"Remember the Maine" was the battle cry that inspired US to enter the Spanish-American War in 1898. I guess there was a similar battle cry about Pearl Harbor but it was probably "Remember Pearl Harbor" and did not relate to any ship, as many ships were destroyed there.
Find em and hit em (first). This was only the SECOND time in history that "Aircraft Carriers" would be used as a capital ship engagement (the primary battle vessels). History's first clash of these new weapons (Aircraft Carriers) was at the Battle of the Coral Sea.

WWII was fought the traditional way...taking ground. Casualties were accepted as payment for taking that "ground" (or sea). Vietnam was NOT fought by taking ground. The ONLY way to measure success in Vietnam was by counting bodies. And those "bodies" had to be hunted for...via the methods of Searching for them, and then Destroying them (Search and Destroy). The term "body count" was not (normally) used in WWII. The term "body count" became part of the US language during the Vietnam War. For casualty data during the Battle of the Coral Sea, see that battle's website; which will also list ship numbers, ship names, and the opposing commanders during the engagement.
Casabianca was the name of a young boy whose father was the commander of the French ship L'Orient during the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Casabianca remained at his post on the burning ship despite the chaos around him, ultimately perishing in the explosion that destroyed the vessel. His steadfastness in carrying out his duty became the subject of a famous poem by Felicia Hemans.
