Coral Sea  Japan against USA 
Aboard the carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku the Japanese pilots were eager to battle to Americans; for six months they had been waiting to destroy the American carriers. The Japanese had become contemptuous of the weakling westerners. Their conquests thus far had been made with ease, and they considered no type of secret occupation of Operation MO. The enemies were heading toward each other.
