Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of the Coral Sea

The Battle of the Coral Sea was a milestone in naval warfare: the first battle in which opposing fleets fought entirely with carrier-based aircraft, never coming within sight of each other. Though the US lost the carrier Lexington, the battle turned back a Japanese invasion force aimed at Port Moresby, New Guinea, protecting the sea lanes to Australia. The tactical draw was a strategic Allied victory, marking the first time a Japanese naval advance had been checked.
