Who was the leader of the battle of the coral sea?

Answer 1

For the Japanese Vice Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue and Vice Admiral Takeo

Takagi. For Australia Rear Admiral John Grace. For the US Admiral Framl

Fletcher.

Coral Sea was history's first clash of carriers. Since the Japanese sunk America's largest carrier at the time, the USS Lexington and the destroyer Sims, and lost only a light carrier; the Japanese won a tactical victory at Coral Sea.

But since the Japanese scuttled their plans for invasion in that region, and turned back; it was a strategical victory for the USN.

Answer 2

See Battle of the Coral Sea website for the names of the IJN & USN ADMIRALS that fought at Coral Sea. Note: The USN/IJN did not have Majors nor Generals in their navies. Those are Army & Marine Corps ranks. Coral Sea was a "Naval" battle; not an Army one.

Answer 3

There were no generals at the Battle of the Coral Sea. It was a naval engagement.

Answer 4

For the US, Nimitz as in overall command with Fletcher and Halsey in operational command. For the Japanese, Yamamoto had overall command with Inoue in operational command.
