S1 E6: The Battle of the Coral Sea was the first naval battle in history fought entirely by carrier-based airplanes, in which opposing fleets never caught sight of each other. Although the Japanese inflicted more tactical damage (including the sinking of the US carrier Lexington), they failed to achieve their objective: Port Moresby in New Guinea.
