Best Answer

WWII was fought the traditional way...taking ground. Casualties were accepted as payment for taking that "ground" (or sea). Vietnam was NOT fought by taking ground. The ONLY way to measure success in Vietnam was by counting bodies. And those "bodies" had to be hunted for...via the methods of Searching for them, and then Destroying them (Search and Destroy). The term "body count" was not (normally) used in WWII. The term "body count" became part of the US language during the Vietnam War. For casualty data during the Battle of the Coral Sea, see that battle's website; which will also list ship numbers, ship names, and the opposing commanders during the engagement.
