Coral Sea was the first time that aircraft carriers fought each other in a naval battle. Coral Sea was a tactical victory for the IJN and a strategic victory for the USN. The IJN sunk more ships but they aborted their mission. Midway was a decisive naval victory for the USN.
The Battle of the Coral Sea, in early May 1942, was one of the major turning points of the Pacific War. It was the first battle in which aircraft carriers engaged each other, and the first naval battle in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon each other.
