Battle of the Coral Sea |

 |
||||||
|
||||||
| In what proved to be a turning point in the war in the Pacific, American forces halted the Japanese advance on Australia on May 7-8, 1942. Carrier-based airplanes inflicted heavy losses on two separate Japanese naval forces, marking the first naval battle in history where ships opposed in battle did not encounter each other directly. | ||||||
