The Battle of the Coral Sea

The Battle of the Coral Sea site offers an interactive animated map and timeline of the four day battle between the Imperial Japanese Navy and Allied forces. The Battle of the Coral Sea did not go to well for the allies where the US lost the Lexington Aircraft Carrier, a destroyer, an oiler, and the Aircraft Carrier Enterprise sustained heavy damages.

South Pacific World War II Videos

In my last post I mentioned watching a video entitled “Jaws of the Enemy”, a WWII documentary about the US assault on Guadalcanal. There are other episodes here depicting other WWII battles as well.

• Bloody Santa Cruz
• Enterprise Vs. Japan
• The Grey Ghost
• Hammer of Hell

All five of these episodes tell different stories of the seemly invincible Aircraft Carrier Enterprise. The videos use real footage from that era, interviews with survivors, animated reenactments, and statistics on the vessels on both sides of the conflict.
