Allied

fought
to

in
a
mammoth
live-day
old
battle
in
the
Coral
Sea
north
ot
Australia.
British,
Australian
and
American
gunners
have
already
sunk
or
crippled
at
least
thirteen
enemy
warships.
The
fateful
struggle,
still
raging,
appears
by
all
accounts
to
be
the
greatest
naval
battle
of
the
war
and
the
biggest
engagement
in
all
American
naval
history,
perhaps
rivalling
in
magnitude
the
historic
Battle
of
Jutland.

that
nine
Japanese
warships
were
sunk
including
an
aircraft
carrier,
two
cruisers,
two
destroyers,
four
gunboats,
a
transport
and
a
supply
ship.
Another
Japanese
carrier
was
so
badly
hit
that
she
was
a
total
loss
and
heavy
damage
was
inflicted
on
a

a

including
the.
sinking
of
a
United

of
the

class,
the
aircraft

and
the

"These

In

quarters
and
in

the
Admiralty
denied
the
damaging
of
the
British
battleship
Warspitc
as
claimed
by
the
Jap-ncse
who
asserted
that
an
Australian
cruiser
of
the
Canberra
type
was
also
damaged
and
may
have
gone
down.
The
running
battle
apparently
started
on
Monday
off
the
Solomon
Islands
and
swept
westward
to
the
Coral
Sea.
All
Australia
waited
tensely
for
news
to
be
flashed
on
the
outcome,
realizing
that
the
fate
of
the
Commonwealth
may
hinge
on
an
Allied
victory
or
defeat.
Naval
and
military
experts
agreed
tonight
that
the
great
sea
battle
off
the
Solomon
Islands
was
the
beginning
of
the
Battle
for
Australia
and
that
the
result
would
have
a
tremendous
bearing
on
the
whole
course
of
the
war.
The
immediate
objective
of
the
Japanese
warships
appears
to
be
to
sever
the
Commonwealth's
lifeline
with
the
United
States.
