Navies have been fighting upon the oceans for thousands of years; the Romans, Greeks, and later the British, French, Americans, Russians, Japanese, etc. At first with wooden ships powered by men at the oars, then cloth sails, then steam, then coal, then oil, now atomic energy. Men and ships always fought upon the seas, with bows & arrows, swords, muskets (rifles/pistols), cannons (guns), then later under water propelled missiles (torpedoes), and high powered large calibered rifles (12, 14, 16, and 18 inch guns). Then came the Battle of the Coral Sea; fought above the oceans; no ship or sailor shooting at one another...all battle performed in the skies above the Coral Sea. For the first time in man's history, a naval battle was being fought by flying machines.
