The Battle of the Coral Sea. Although it was a tactical draw, the battle was a strategic win for the Allies because it stopped their drive toward Australia.
The Americans did not win; yet halted the Japanese advance onto Australia and Port Moresby. Both sides sustained heavy losses, ship and air.
America has never lost a battle or war.
Aircraft Carriers. The Battle of the Coral Sea was the first ever Aircraft Carrier vs Aircraft Carrier battle ever. But remember, the US Navy did not win. The US actually lost a carrier, along with Japan also losing one. But the US came more confident in using them, and learned Aircraft Carriers would be the main strategic importance in the Pacific Theatre.
The Battle of the Coral Sea was a Japanese tactical victory; they sank the US Navy's largest aircraft carrier, the USS Lexington.

== == There was no clear victor. The Battle of the Coral Sea (between May 4 and May 8, 1942), to the east of New Guinea in the South Pacific, was considered a tactical victory for Japan since the U.S. lost a fleet carrier (U.S.S. Lexington), while Japan only lost a light carrier (Shoho). But at the same time, the battle was a strategic victory for the Allies because it forced the Japanese to abandon their attempt to land troops to take Port Moresby in New Guinea. Japan's expansion was stopped at this point, and the stage was set for the decisive Battle of Midway a month later. After Midway, the Japanese never stopped retreating.The Battle of the Coral Sea was also significant because it was the first fleet action in which aircraft carriers engaged one another without ever sighting each other. It was the first naval battle in history in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other. If the superiority of naval air power over dreadnoughts had not been proven at Pearl harbor, it was proven once and for all in the Coral Sea.
