In this episode of Compact Warfare, we head to May 1942 and the Battle of the Coral Sea, a dramatic clash between Japanese and Allied carrier forces that changed the course of the Pacific War. Fought without the opposing surface fleets ever directly seeing one another, it was a battle of aircraft, carriers, intelligence, risk, and split-second decisions. Although the tactical result was messy, the strategic outcome mattered enormously, especially for Australia, Port Moresby, and the future Battle of Midway.
