THIS year marks the 72nd anniversary of The Battle of the Coral Sea, which was a series of naval engagements off the north-east coast of Australia from 4-8 May, 1942. The battle was fought by Allied (United States and Australian) and Japanese aircraft against four different major groups of warships. Some of the aircraft involved were land-based, but most were from the opposing aircraft carriers. It was the first aircraft carrier battle ever fought and the first naval battle in which the opposing forces of surface ships at no stage sighted or fired at each other. All attacks were carried out by aeroplanes. It was also the largest naval battle that has ever been fought off Australia’s shores. The battle was significant for two main reasons, including being the first time in World War II that the Japanese experienced failure in a major operation. The battle also stopped the Japanese seaborne invasion of Port Moresby.
