Battles that took place prior to 1941 were on mainland China. After 1941, the Pacific Ocean became a NAVAL battleground. US Marine Corps battles for islands were actually naval battles; as US Marines are "naval infantrymen." Some of the US Naval battles were: 1. Sea Battles around the islands of Guadalcanal; these naval fights were the most vicious naval engagements in naval history; especially the "Battle of Friday the 13th." 2. The Battle of the Java Sea; a cruiser fleet action. 3. The Battle of the Coral Sea. 4. The Battle of Midway. 5. The Battle of Leyte Gulf.
