Preceding the Battle of Midway, the often overlooked Battle of Coral Sea, puts the American Navy on the map where the Japanese least expect it. In May 1942, the first ever carrier battle where the opposing sides never see one another, takes place. Allied and Australian bases are at extreme risk as an Imperial Japanese invasion fleet approaches. Plans change when the Japanese receive their first bout of American military might. Find out what took place here and how the outcome set the standard for the rest of World War II in the Pacific Theater.
