Coral Sea was history's FIRST clash of aircraft carriers. It taught the world's navies what would happen when carrier fleets fought each other. The stage was now set for "Midway." "Midway" was a turning point; for it destroyed the IJN's best airmen that flew their fighters, torpedo bombers, and dive bombers. It also destroyed their best/experienced flight deck crewmen. Those men could not be replaced in time to continue the war.

Now that it was over, Admirals and airmen now had a general idea on how to fight a naval battle with strictly airplanes.
