The Allied forces employed a strategy of intelligence and coordinated air and naval operations during the Battle of the Coral Sea. They effectively utilized aircraft carriers to launch air strikes against Japanese naval forces, disrupting their plans and supply lines. The successful interception of Japanese forces prevented them from invading Port Moresby in New Guinea, marking a significant strategic victory and demonstrating the importance of air power in naval warfare. This battle also represented the first time in naval history that opposing fleets did not directly engage each other in combat, highlighting the shift towards carrier-based warfare.
The strategy that significantly contributed to the Allied forces' victory at the Battle of the Coral Sea was cracking Japanese codes to learn of their attack plans. This intelligence allowed the Allies to anticipate and counter Japanese movements, ultimately leading to a successful defense. Additionally, the use of aircraft carriers and coordinated air strikes played a crucial role in disrupting Japanese supply lines, which further weakened their operational capabilities in the region.

Their strategy was to split the Allied Forces in the Pacific. MacArthur lead forces in the SW Pacific. He was based in Australia. His force went after the Japanese to repel them from the islands. They had to cut off the communications lines of the Japanese by re-taking some of the islands the Japanese occupied near China. Nimitz led the Naval force that went after islands starting from the Coral Sea and on up to the mainland island of Japan. They began an island hopping campaign to take back American possessions and liberate the islands the Japanese had invaded. It took them three years to accomplish this because they had to build up the Naval fleet again. The other problem they had was their enemy. The Japanese were very fierce warriors making them difficult to defeat. They were clever too. They would hide underground or fight only at night. The Naval Japanese leaders tricked and trapped the US Naval vessels too. But the strategy the Allied Forces chose to use did work. They won the war.
