The Naval Battle of the Coral Sea
The Battle of the Coral Sea resulted from the Japanese attempt to capture Port Moreseby in New Guinea. If they were successful in capturing this port, they could potentially invade Australia. The battle resulted in the Japanese having to evacuate. However, the Japanese were under the impression that they had destroyed the USS Yorktown. However, they didn't. The USS Yorktown was repaired in two days. This ship was very important in The Battle of Midway.
