Today's Moment to Remember
[ USS Lexington (CV-2) explodes after being attacked by Japanese aircraft during the Battle of Coral Sea = public domain image ]
On this date, May 6, 1942, the US Navy and Japanese Navy were in the middle of the Battle of Coral Sea. This battle was the first true aircraft carrier battle; whereby, the naval forces never saw each other's ships or fired any direct shots at each other. All the fighting and damage to carriers was done by aircraft. The battle was claimed as a victory by both sides. But, strategically it was a victory for the US to protect and support its supply lines to keep winning back islands on the march toward Japan.
