  1. Another would be the St. Lo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_St._Lo The St. Lo was one of two Casablanca Class Escort Carriers to be renamed because of the new, larger carriers coming out after the Essex class - these ships giving up their names for the larger vessels. Here's a list of the ships of this class - showing the names of those that were changed. These two ships were originally going to be named Midway and Coral Sea but - when the Navy preferred to have more substantial ships named after these two battles - these ships were re-named the St. Lo and the Anzio Curiously - the new Midway Class carriers (the largest in the world for some time) also had a ship re-named. The second ship of the class, which was going to be named Coral Sea was re-named the Franklin Delano Roosevelt because of that Presidents death - with the name Coral Sea going to the third ship of the class. So - there were TWO aircraft carriers which were going to be named Coral Sea which ended up being named something else. None of the other ships were lost besides the St. Lo but ... the FDR had a somewhat troubled life and was scrapped 13 years before the actual Coral Sea with the Midway becoming a memorial ship in San Diego Bay. Of coarse ... the St. Lo had also previously been named the Chapin Bay so ... maybe it's really unlucky to have a ship re-named twice ... Just found out as I was researching this that the Anguilla Bay had been renamed the Salamaua ... was damaged - but repaired. .
