After Pearl Harbor was bombed in December, the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy mobilized and steamed to the Coral Sea. It was here and at Midway that the United States announced its presence to the Imperial Japanese Navy. What began as an attempt to capture Port Moresby evolved into a full-scale fleet battle. The first major carrier versus carrier operation took place on May 7-8 in the Coral Sea in 1942.
This event seeks to recreate the fierce fighting of those two days in 1942. The main objectives for both sides will be carriers and their fleets. Because of the success of the Americans in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the IJN’s capabilities at Midway were reduced.
