The first USS Lexington aircraft carrier was sunk in the Coral Sea. The second USS Lexington aircraft carrier survived it's predecessor and was decommissioned in 1991.
In 1959.
I'm pretty sure she was build in Singleton on the East Coast of Australia. It is the only aircraft carrier building facility with direct access to the sea (via the Hunter River) that was available in 1942 to building vessels and so the USA contracted work on the Essex class carriers to the Australian government.
