In this episode Craig and Ian cover the Battle of the Coral Sea.

The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought from May 4 to May 8, 1942, was a pivotal naval engagement between the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II. It marked the first time in history that two opposing naval forces engaged each other without the ships ever coming within sight of one another, relying solely on aircraft carriers and aircraft. The battle took place in the Coral Sea, northeast of Australia.

Both sides suffered significant losses in terms of ships and aircraft. The Japanese aimed to capture Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, which would have provided them with a strategic foothold to threaten Australia. However, their plans were thwarted by Allied intelligence, allowing the American and Australian naval forces to intercept the Japanese fleet.

The battle resulted in a tactical victory for the Japanese, as they sank more Allied ships than they lost. However, it was a strategic victory for the Allies, as they successfully prevented the Japanese from achieving their objective of capturing Port Moresby. The Japanese carrier Shoho was sunk, and the larger carrier Shokaku was damaged, which hindered Japanese operations in the Pacific theater.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with the USS Lexington and the Japanese carrier Shoho being sunk, and several other ships damaged on both sides. The Battle of the Coral Sea demonstrated the importance of naval air power and marked a turning point in the Pacific War, as it halted Japanese expansion and set the stage for the Battle of Midway.
