The Navy didn't even officially recognize names for planes until the early days of World War II. Most of the names of U.S. aircraft, except for U.S. Navy aircraft, were coined by the British when they purchased them or were given them under Lend Lease.
The British named the P-51 "Mustang," for example.

I saw a good video about the last usages of corsairs fighting mustangs. I think it was el Salvador vs Honduras in the 1980s.
