the battle of the coral sea, fought from 4 to 8 may 1942, was a major naval battle between the imperial japanese navy (ijn) and naval and air forces from the united states and australia, taking place in the pacific theatre of world war ii. the battle is historically significant as the first action in which aircraft carriers engaged each other, as well as the first in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other. <SEP> On 4 May, from a position 100 nmi (120 mi; 190 km) south of Guadalcanal (11 ° 10 ′ S 158 ° 49 ′ E ﻿ / ﻿ 11.167 ° S 158.817 ° E ﻿ / - 11.167; 158.817), a total of 60 aircraft from TF 17 launched three consecutive strikes against Shima's forces off Tulagi. The U.S. lost one torpedo bomber and two fighters in the strikes, but all of the aircrew were eventually rescued. Yorktown's aircraft surprised Shima's ships and sank the destroyer Kikuzuki (09 ° 07 ′ S 160 ° 12 ′ E ﻿ / ﻿ 9.117 ° S 160.200 ° E ﻿ / - 9.117; 160.200) and three of the minesweepers, damaged four other ships, and destroyed four seaplanes which were supporting the landings. After recovering its aircraft late in the evening of 4 May, TF 17 retired towards the south.
