May 4 - 8 1942 The Battle of the Coral Sea was fought between primarily the USN and the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Japanese made their last attempt at expanding their sphere of influence by setting forth to attack Port Moresby in southern New Guniea. Their hope was to take Port Moresby and then use it as a base to attack Australia in the future. For the next 3 days the two opposing sides will slug it out in what was the first naval battle ever fought where the beligerent forces never actually saw one another. It was all fought via air power. The Allies (US and Australia) will lose the big carrier Lexington and the big carrier Yorktown will be heavily damaged. The Japanese will lose the small carrier Shoho and the big carrier Shokaku will be heavily damaged. Other ships on both sides will be lost or damaged too. Gererally it is said that the Japanese won this important battle on a tactical level as we lost more men and shipping. But strategically it was a win for the Allies as it permanently stopped the southern expansion of the Japanese. Japan has reached the zenith of their expansion. For the next 3 years they will be steadily pushed back to the their Home Islands and suffer the complete destruction of their Military forces.
