Battle of the Coral Sea.

It was the first sea battle where the belligerent fleets never came into visual contact with one another. All damage was inflicted by aircraft.

The Battle for Okinawa (Operation Iceberg, April 1, 1945)--the bloodiest battle of the Pacific campaign. Why did the Japanese put up such a fight? Why was Okinawa so important to them? Why was it so important to us?
Over 250,000 people died on Okinawa . Other than Stalingrad, Okinawa had the largest loss of civilian life during the entire Second World War.
The United States Navy sustained the largest loss of ships in its history with thirty-six lost and 368 damaged. The Navy also sustained the largest loss of life in a single battle with almost 5,000 killed and an equal number wounded. (http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com...a/default.aspx)
