Note the report in columns 5-6: "Japs. Had 35 Ships Sunk Or Damaged In Coral Sea: Allies Lost Only Three" |
(This is the highest number I have seen in print yet. In the sub-headline they breakdown the number into 15 ships sunk and 20 severely damaged. The truth is, during the Battle of the Coral Sea the Japanese lost only one small aircraft carrier, Shoho, which was the first Japanese aircraft carrier sunk in World War II. An air attack against the Japanese invasion force bound for Tulagi in the Solomon Islands by aircraft from USS Yorktown CV-5, resulted in the loss of one destroyer and two small minesweepers. One cruiser-minelayer was damaged and it was sunk on May 11 by USS S-42 SS-153. The Japanese admit to the loss of 5 merchant ships between May 6 and May 8, but none lost to aircraft.) |
