Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: He was (I am certain) referring to the USS Bismark Sea:

USS BISMARCK SEA was the 41st CASABLANCA - class escort carrier and the first ship in the Navy to bear the name. USS BISMARCK SEA was lost at Iwo Jima with 318 of her crew. The BISMARCK SEA was stricken from the Navy list on March 30, 1945.
