The naval battle in the Coral Sea (May, 1942) stopped Japan from invading New Guinea. Although both the Japanese and US fleets lost carriers in the battle, the damage to other carriers meant they were out of action for the Battle of Midway a month later (the most costly defeat of the war for the Japanese, who lost 4 carriers).
