The Battle of the Coral Sea, fought from May 4-8, 1942, was a pivotal naval engagement in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It was the first naval battle in history in which the opposing fleets did not come into direct contact with each other, instead relying on aircraft carriers and aircraft to engage in combat. The battle was significant as it halted the Japanese advance towards Australia and marked a turning point in the war in the Pacific.
