It was the first major battle at sea between what was left of the US fleet and the Japanese fleet. The US carriers won the battle and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese fleet. If the Japanese had been victorious the US Navy would have been helpless in the Pacific Ocean for a long time, possibly long enough to have turned the war in favor of the Japanese.
