What are facts about battle of coral sea?

Answer 1

1.The Battle of the Coral Sea was a series of naval engagements off the north-east coast of Australia between 4 and 8 May 1942. It was fought by Allied and Japanese aircraft against four different major groups of warships.
2.Some of the aircraft involved were land-based, but most were from the opposing aircraft carriers.
3.It was the first time in World War 2 that the Japanese experienced failure in a major operation; and the battle stopped the Japanese sea-borne invasion of Port Moresby.
4.For many people this was the 'battle that saved Australia'. This is an exaggerated claim, but there is some validity to it. The battle certainly seemed more significant at the time than modern history books rate it.
