  Battle of the Coral Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of the Coral Sea, in early May 1942, was one of the major turning points of the Pacific War.
It was the first battle in which aircraft carriers engaged each other, and the first naval battle in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon each other.
In opposition were three main fleets: USS Yorktown (CV-5) already in the Coral Sea under the command of Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, USS Lexington (CV-2) en route, and a joint Allied surface fleet.
