During WW2 my country men suffered terribly under the military of Japan, suffering due to the cause of their living god. I will never respect their WW2 pilots, aces or their what so ever.
Very nice. Yes, the real insignia was with the center red disc and was changed May 15 1942, after Coral Sea Battle. About the Zero code, EII, from Zuikaku of Cardiv 5.
Nice video. The markings are wrong on the US aircraft for Coral Sea though. They still had the early war markings with the red dots in the middle of the stars and the candy cane stripes on the rudder. It was shortly after the Coral Sea battle that the red dots and candy canes were removed.
This video is very accurate, and I have to hat off to great job. By the way, paid agents from China or Korea always pop up when Japanese war films are posted, which is also interseting. Fuck off Chinese agents and Korean comfort man !
Although it was a thing of 70 years ago, Japan is only one country in a colored race, and was fighting with the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. for three years and nine months.
What caliber of guns were the Japanese planes using? The American planes seem to be suffering catastrophic battle damage with few hits from the Japanese guns. I thought that the American planes had at least some armor protection around critical systems and the pilot, at least against rifle caliber slugs.
The japs together with the Germans were using a mix of something around 7.x mm MGs and 20mm+ cannons with a mixture of HE and AP/I rounds...no armor can protect you against 20mm AP...that might be the reason
Good Video. Maybe…was better with the face of a real actor. About the music…mmmm, I don´t like too much ;p because it sound very actual, like a techno-samba je je, the music of the end is better ;). But the video is good, I say yes ;) but...noone Zero was down? Mmmm. That is not very real sorry ;). Bye ;)
@BobBlobOfFancyPants By the end of the war they wasn't. When the war started they had top notch pilots but they could not keep up training new recruit's to meet the losses. The battle of Midway was catastrophic in the Japanese loss of trained personnel more the material. Kamikazes where usually horrifyingly bad pilots, having received where little training. Really experienced pilots where often refused to sign up as kamikazes.
I dont think they were mindless savages. True they done some things to our soldiers and their bodies but im sure our boys done the same sometimes. They hated us and we hated them. It was a war and they were dedicated and alot were brainwashed into giving their lives for their emperor.
oO OMG! Someone on Earth really tried to make CG air combat scenes in a realistic way instead of these crap movies with Star Wars physics like Pearl Harbour or Fly Boys!
You are back to strategic ramifications. Even US Naval officers, with whom I discuss this at length, agree the IJN won the tactical (albeit pyrric) victory by sinking over twice the tonnage of the of the USN when the battle was over (not to mention 25% of Pacific US carrier strength). I am pretty sure that is the accepted view by the USN. The STRATEGIC implications were entirely another matter thus the USN rightfully declared themselves staregic (ergo overall) winner by turning the IJN away.
@maxsmodels There are some accounts(Mostly IJN's pov) that the battle of Coral Sea was an attempt by the IJN to draw out the USN's remaining carriers after the failure at Pearl.
I do not enough room to go into it here but in short is goes like this:
In terms of ships lost, the Japanese won a tactical victory by sinking an American fleet carrier, an oiler, and a destroyer =41,826 long tons versus a light carrier, a destroyer, and several smaller warships =19,000 long tons sunk by the Americans. Lexington represented, at that time, 25% of U.S. Pacific carrier.
ALso you are wrong about only 4 carrier available for Midway. 2 went Alaska thanks to the army (yes army).
The animation is good. the one sided nature (all planes shot down are USN) is OK as it is a Japanese production and film makers usually like to make thier side look good. No isn in that. The IJN did an impressive job, they sank an American fleet carrier for the loss of a small IJN carrier. The tactical victory goes to the IJN but the battle thwarted their plans to invade Port Moresby giving the allies the strategic victory. Midway was another story for both sides. The TBDs really got it bad.
@maxsmodels The japanese did not do an impressive job. They lost a light carrier, a fleet carrier out of commission and another lost so many planes that it missed Midway. So in really, 3 carriers were out of action to 1 american. Don't forget that japan knew we could replace ships faster. This also came back to haunt them at midway. If kido butai had the services of carrier division 3 at midway, then it would have been a possible japanese victory. The US won both the tactical AND the strategic.
@lionel21000 You are correct. I meant they did an impressive job with their combat air operation. The fighter, dive bomber and torpedo crews were a force to be reckoned with. Their air ops leadership was another story. The wrong assumptions by the eladership thwarted their efforts. Poor scouting was one of several major mistakes.
@lionel21000 But the loss of a fleet carrier hull in America's condition at the time or simply by tonnage lost is arguably, and by many nautical opinons definitley, tactical win for the IJN (at the time).
@maxsmodels again, no, it wasn't. In the following battle the IJN was able to put only four carriers and 230 planes against three US with about 225 planes, an even fight. The IJN lost the ability to project MORE power then the US. Once they lost that initiative it was never regained. In fact, had Wasp and Saratoga been in theater and battle worthy, the US would have had more airpower then IJN.
@lionel21000 Also the damaged IJN carrier at Coral Sea is offset by the damaged American carrier. Remember that a tactical victory is only measured by the days tally not the long term effect. The Japanese had a clear victory in that regard. The loss of an extra 24 planes and 640 sailors does not level the score in tactical terms.
BTW, Kido Butai had 8 carrier at Midway, only 4 were fleet carriers. You can claim US victory at TBOCS but the world's navies measure it by tonnage.
@maxsmodels No, the damaged Yorktown doesn't count; it was back in action at Midway. Niether Shokaku nor Zuikako were available. Those two carriers would have made a difference. The "4" carriers you are talking about, 3 were loaded with midget subs. These were nothing more than converted tankers. Without the battle of Coral Sea it would have been 6 fleet carriers against 3 fleet carriers (and land based aircraft) numbers alone dont determine win/loss on a battlefield.
@lionel21000 I'm not including Yorktown. I am only including the ships SUNK! the Lexington. You re also wrong about the four auxilliary carriers. They carried operational aircraft (fighters) as well as Rufes in storage. Chitose, Chikuma and Tone are also not included. You cannot argue the damaged IJN carriers impact on Midway because that is a STRATEGIC issue a month later. The TACTICAL victory, the day's tonnage, the winner on the field that day by all nautical standards was the IJN.
@maxsmodels look at your last post, you were including the damaged Yorktown. The planes in "storage" needed three days to be assembled and they had decks full of midgets. If they could have been deployed they would have. Yamamoto chose retreat as he knew they didn't have airpower. US loses were replaceable, IJN were not. US had 17 Essex class coming, IJN had Tahio and 4 Unryos. IJN lost the ability to mass firepower WHEN it was needed = loss.
@lionel21000 We'll just have to disagree on the definition of tactical (short term). It is judged at days end. The naval standard of the day was tonnage. That is how both navies and most historians count it ergo it is the standard i use. What happens after that falls into the Strategic realm & no one is arguing the long term/strategic American win but on 5/8/42 it was 42,000t for Japan and 19,000t for America. What happened a month later at midway is a strategic, not tactical, implication.
@maxsmodels All that I'm saying is that war isn't a football game neatly defined by a "score" of numbers. That would be like saying that Germany won the battle for Berlin because they killed more Soviets and destroyed more tanks then the soviets did. I believe that setting the conditions for future strategic success is indeed tactical success. Perhaps that makes things for clear? I do respect your knowledge on the topic and I enjoyed the debate.
@lionel21000 That is almost precisey how tactical short term) success is measured [strategic outcomes ie:long term are often not even concieved of yet]. The best case in point - The Alamo. A clear tactical victory for the Mexicans that cost them dearly at the Battle of San Jacinto (and ergo the war and all of Texas). The British won most battles in the Revolution yet lost the war. The IJN had a clear tactical win at Pearl Harbor but it was also pyrric as the carriers were not there.
@lionel21000 Prt 2. Just think of the tactical pictured like the aforementioned scring of a ball game with the strategic picture being the entire season. The tactical picture is summed up the minute all forces leave the field of battle. In terms of tonnage sunk (42K vs 19K) or Pacific fleet carrier percentage impact (USN 25% lost, 50% impacted vs IJN 5%< lost, 20%< impacted) the IJN took the day BUT ONLY the day. We both know what time would show to be the strategic impact at Midway.
@maxsmodels Yes, we certainly know what the impact on Coral Sea would be at midway. The ironic thing is that lessons learned by Lexington's loss were a direct impact on Yorktown's stubborn ability to stay afloat so long. I'll spark another debate with this: Had not Yorktown been torpedoed after the battle she'd have been the best known CV not Enterprise. Her aircraft performed better, her crew was best, Cpt Buckmaster should have gone a lot further than he did.
im not surprised that only US planes are getting shot down here as japanese pilots were much better trained and the mitsubishi zero fighter was still the ruler of the skies at this stage of the war. the combination of superior pilots and a highly manouverable plane was lethal. not to mention most most of the US planes being downed on this clip are torpedo bombers that are definately not designed to dogfight with fighters
You do realise American Aircraft could take a lot more punishment that is shown in this movie... Japanese planes were the ones who burst into flames if the pilot farted.
the Japanese fleet suffered so much during the war because they felt that strategic victories could be won by drawing the remaining US fleet to battle, and defeating them at sea Tsushima-style. as such, many of their battles revolved around wiping out US aircraft before their battleships went in to mop up the defenseless carriers. this was the philosophy behind the "mega ships" like Yamato, the A-150 "super Yamato" and, later, the "super" carrier Shinanao, built on a Yamato-class hull.
The Japanese are very smart people, we Americans almost lost that war, but in the end our forces were stronger, it was a horrible war, but it was not our fault.
Not a single Japanese plane was shot down because in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the US carriers did not have very many fighters, in order to maximise the number of bombers available. Lexington had 20 F4Fs, Yorktown had only 12. Half of these were reserved for CAP, leaving only a handful to escort strikes. So in this strike, the Americans had only 17 F4Fs to escort 67 bombers. Not enough fighters to protect all the bombers, which is why some Zeros had a field day shooting down US bombers.
Wow, not a single Japanese plane was shot down. In reality, 69 US planes lost, 92 Japanese planes lost. Each lost a carrier. Oh well, it was still nice animation.
Nice video. A good portrayal of what it must of been like to fight over the vast expanse of the Pacific during World War 2. One wrong move and you 're going swimming.
@claycraigo Are you kidding me? To the Japanese, the Great War against the U.S did NOT end with a signing on a battleship.A militaristic war ended and an economic one began.Look at Japan and U.S economic and trade relations before and after the war and you will see that Japan did not really lose anything.They actually gained.Look at Japan and U.S economies only 20 years later and you will ask yourself who really won.
@lemonite1 we gained to we won the war by dropping the nuke and now they are allies with us so who one the war??? also it got us out of the depression so it helped us to
I(Japanese) think that we should fight equally if cornered in the same scene again. The subordination that is unprincipled like a Korean is more shameful than death.
Japanese Zero.. Mitsubishi still builds awesome machines The Japanese did not consider American Industry when she picked her last fight.. It was a punishing defeat. But not without great losses that forever changed both countries. It is too bad for us all, even today!!!
mismatch..dive bombers are specifically made to bomb. Not to dogfight. Zeroes were shot down like flies when they encountered hellcats, P51mustangs and the F4U corsair...
look up ' the marianas turkey shoot'
no need to rewrite history with opinions. let's just watch the video objectively and we might learn a lesson or two.
History says that our ace pilot won't get many more successful sorties like that. He will end up getting shot down or press ganged into a suicide attack...
this video is quite biased towards the Japanese. I'm not american but i can see that it shows loads of american planes being shot down and being see off while the jap lands on his carrier. Yeah this never happned. A lot more japanese were shot down then americans, something this video does'nt show
@101327 You ignorant BASTARD! Almost every side fought with honor, the people we fight are human too. The Japanese went on SUICIDE missions for their country that they loved! It's bastards like you who degrade America's image.
@101327 I agree with acepilot1997. If you really think the Japanese were mindless savages fighting the U.S, you have to read more history and stop playing video games so damn much.
Not mindless, but savage. I've been a historian for over twenty years: if you DON'T think they were deranged killbots, something's wrong with you: to use a famous quote of a famous decorated hero of Japan, "I was a Demon then. I will never live down what I have done". Read further, about the treatment of nearly everyone under their aegis, about how they basically cared nothing for their own casualties, about how when medic..oh nevermind.
@menckencynic They were deranged and savage because they were basically brainwashed to do so. They didn't commit the acts they did simply and completely on their own. That's what they were taught and trained to do. And if they didn't they would either be executed or imprisoned in some way. I understand as well as you do the kind of atrocities that occured there, because I study the war in the Pacific as well.
Why they were savage killbots isn't really the question though, is it? That's sort of like admitting they were evil barbarians but saying "Well, that's how they were raised". Ok, so what? The question was "what were they like?".
Well, it's something, anyway, that you at least admitted they were evil killbots.
@guibin Well, it depends on how you look at it to see if "all" soldiers are brainwashed. Based off of that comment, I supposed you've never heard any documentaries on why the soldiers join the military, or anything like that, much less actually go to war yourself.
@TheAdjundantReflex yes japanese all monsters but then again so are the russians (2 million german wimen raped) and americans and serbs, wee i guess every1 is when it comes to war.
@TheAdjundantReflex -_- Please read all my comments. Obviously they did that stuff, but I'm sure that you didn't know every single one of them personally, so how could you tell that they all truly believed that what they did was right? Most of them did it because they were ordered to or else they would be called traitors and executed themselves. Yes, many of them did believe in doing those things. So please, read everything I say first and don't tell me to read what I obviously know about.
@eneumann7755 . Tell that to my grandparents who lost half their family to the Japanese in occupied Hong Kong. Looks like you need to read more history and learn about the Rape of Nanking, Unit 731, "comfort women" and the countless other atrocities committed by the imperialist Japanese. Or you can just believe what makes you feel good, and deny the reality of what others experienced under the hand of the Japs.
@gavinheyworth You obviously are not understanding what I'm saying. How is it possible that you can believe that I'm that ignorant to what went on? "Looks like you need to read more history"?? Isn't that what I've been telling everyone else? I know about all that. I am terribly sorry for your grandparents and their family. Do you think that I don't care about what they went through, and that the Japanese were doing all that was right? REALLY???
@USSRman45, by any scoreboard count, the Japanese lost. Lost more planes, lost more ships, lost more people and their invasion of Port Moresby was stopped dead in it's tracks.
it was a complete strategic failure, they didn't win shit.
@Coolins335 Well yeah they lost alright totally agree with you there, shattered that illusion of invincibility too. But the Zero was still a superior plane at the beginning of the war.
@Coolins335 HAHA, I can't agree with you. The history of japanese fighter is ” Nakajima A4N ” → ”Claude fighter" → " ZERO". not a copy of the Hughes H1.
@freeway104, I'm not saying either way, but there are definitely strong resemblances. Agree to disagree.
"it was quite apparent to everyone that the Japanese Zero fighter had been copied from the Hughes H-1 Racer." He noted both the wing planform, the tail empennage design and the general similarity of the Zero and his racer.[9][N 2] Jiro Horikoshi, designer of the Mitsubishi Zero strongly refuted the allegation of the Hughes H-1 influencing the design of the Japanese fighter aircraft.[10]
Not believable. Asians don't look around when they're driving. Also, do you people calling Americans "racists" know the difference between race and nationality?
Awesome animation! To the Japanese gentleman whp has graciously posted this video for us to enjoy, please ignore the racist bigots. I'm from Australia and we have moved on and enjoy our friendship with the people of Japan.
@jjjazzycraig The amount of idiocy and ignorance in that statement should justify my absolutely ripping into and destroying every single one of your fundamentally challenged square pieces of personality that you keep trying to shove into the circular hole of life (double entendre if you'd like to see it that way), but I'll be the bigger man here and simply say the following:
@jjjazzycraig I did have family serve in WWII, in both the European and Pacific Theater.
Have you ever been to Japan? Have you ever actually met a Japanese person? Do you realize that we (I'm assuming you're either American or from another Western country) are now extremely close allies with Japan? Are you aware that the computer that you're using to deface the Japanese most likely came from Japan?
The War ended 66 years ago, far before you were born. Times have changed: kindly move with them.
@unspoken24 Well, thats only what America has been doing for more than a few years! Taking the inventions of others and making them better...or is that different?
Nice graphics, but USN aircraft didn't flame quite that easily! Also, there was a red disk inside the white star insignia at the time of Coral Sea; it was removed the week after and was not present a month later at Midway.
IIRC, it was during this battle that Swede Vejtasa splashed two or three Zeros in an SBD on CAP, probably the best bit of combat flying (and luck!) in the Pacific theater.
Coral Sea was a draw. The US lost a first line carrier. The Japanese lost a light carrier but the real damage was the loss of too many experienced crews from the air groups of the Zuikaku and the Shokaku. Shokaku was seriously damaged and was out of action until 1943. Both sides missed opportunities and many lessons were learned.
@shitonMOHAMMAD Shoho was a light carrier- actually a converted oiler. She could only carry about 30 aircraft. She was a bad trade for the Lexington that could carry over twice the aircraft.
@alonsocamilo In difference from the spanish language, English is language of the international dialogue which understand the majority, besides Spain didn't participate in the 2WW and sat out aside)))
The US sank the Japanese carrier Shōhō in the Battle of the Coral Sea. She was hit 13 times by bombs and 2 times by torpedoes. The Japanese hat 92 aircraft destroyed, the US 69. The US had a large carrier sunk and another large carrier damaged. Most interesting to me is to see a Japanese view of the battle. Makes me think of the movie "Letters from Iwo Jima." That movie was so sad I could only bear to watch it once.
@todddoom Letters from Iwo Jima was an american made movie, and you're right, they made it too teary, more drama than war movie. I would like to see some japanese made movies about the war ...
I cant believe this is a indie movie that somone just made, awesome quality. Any way we can get some subtitles on it?
@Zamolxes77 You might be interested in Otoko-tachi no Yamato, a Japanese film about the sinking of the famous battleship. Great action scenes.
It's been a while since I've seen Iwo Jima kara no Tegami (the Japanese name for Letters from Iwo Jima), and I really want to see it again. I saw the island when my training ship swung by last summer. That and crawling inside rusted tanks on the beaches of Saipan remind me that all that movie magic is based on real events, real people.
@Salguine You don't know what you are talking about-look it up. My uncle was a gunner on TBM and he said they had to install the device just for that reason, the crews kept shooting their own tails in training.
Excellent CGI and very accurate but the SBDs should still have the red dots inside their star insignia at the time of the Battle of Coral Sea in May 1942.
@claycraigo Excuse my English. but That does not make the sentence. by the way,
correct is ancestors. not ansesters. right? Pearl Harbor attack was a massacre in Japan!!!!!i will kill list, all you expect ansesters. Above sentence is to translated in google from Japanese to English. If that is correct,
should tell you, could not do that for human sense. how about atomic boom in Hiroshima. that was war. should learn from that. Should stop any fight! Should stop any war!
@kotetsunagasone um the atomic bomb was some of it but the main shit that went down was iwo jima not a fucking bomb they slaughtered us first so we will slaughter them back dumb fuck

They carried operational aircraft (fighters) as well as Rufes in storage. Chitose, Chikuma and Tone are also not included. You cannot argue the damaged IJN carriers impact on Midway because that is a STRATEGIC issue a month later. The TACTICAL victory, the day's tonnage, the winner on the field that day by all nautical standards was the IJN.
maxsmodels 4 months ago
@maxsmodels look at your last post, you were including the damaged Yorktown. The planes in "storage" needed three days to be assembled and they had decks full of midgets. If they could have been deployed they would have. Yamamoto chose retreat as he knew they didn't have airpower. US loses were replaceable, IJN were not. US had 17 Essex class coming, IJN had Tahio and 4 Unryos. IJN lost the ability to mass firepower WHEN it was needed = loss.
lionel21000 4 months ago
@lionel21000 We'll just have to disagree on the definition of tactical (short term). It is judged at days end. The naval standard of the day was tonnage. That is how both navies and most historians count it ergo it is the standard i use. What happens after that falls into the Strategic realm & no one is arguing the long term/strategic American win but on 5/8/42 it was 42,000t for Japan and 19,000t for America. What happened a month later at midway is a strategic, not tactical, implication.
maxsmodels 4 months ago
@maxsmodels All that I'm saying is that war isn't a football game neatly defined by a "score" of numbers. That would be like saying that Germany won the battle for Berlin because they killed more Soviets and destroyed more tanks then the soviets did. I believe that setting the conditions for future strategic success is indeed tactical success. Perhaps that makes things for clear? I do respect your knowledge on the topic and I enjoyed the debate.
lionel21000 4 months ago
@lionel21000 That is almost precisey how tactical short term) success is measured [strategic outcomes ie:long term are often not even concieved of yet]. The best case in point - The Alamo. A clear tactical victory for the Mexicans that cost them dearly at the Battle of San Jacinto (and ergo the war and all of Texas). The British won most battles in the Revolution yet lost the war. The IJN had a clear tactical win at Pearl Harbor but it was also pyrric as the carriers were not there.
maxsmodels 4 months ago
@lionel21000 Prt 2. Just think of the tactical pictured like the aforementioned scring of a ball game with the strategic picture being the entire season. The tactical picture is summed up the minute all forces leave the field of battle. In terms of tonnage sunk (42K vs 19K) or Pacific fleet carrier percentage impact (USN 25% lost, 50% impacted vs IJN 5%< lost, 20%< impacted) the IJN took the day BUT ONLY the day. We both know what time would show to be the strategic impact at Midway.
maxsmodels 4 months ago
@maxsmodels Yes, we certainly know what the impact on Coral Sea would be at midway. The ironic thing is that lessons learned by Lexington's loss were a direct impact on Yorktown's stubborn ability to stay afloat so long. I'll spark another debate with this: Had not Yorktown been torpedoed after the battle she'd have been the best known CV not Enterprise. Her aircraft performed better, her crew was best, Cpt Buckmaster should have gone a lot further than he did.
lionel21000 4 months ago
im not surprised that only US planes are getting shot down here as japanese pilots were much better trained and the mitsubishi zero fighter was still the ruler of the skies at this stage of the war. the combination of superior pilots and a highly manouverable plane was lethal. not to mention most most of the US planes being downed on this clip are torpedo bombers that are definately not designed to dogfight with fighters

You do realise American Aircraft could take a lot more punishment that is shown in this movie... Japanese planes were the ones who burst into flames if the pilot farted.
CJLinton 6 months ago
the Japanese fleet suffered so much during the war because they felt that strategic victories could be won by drawing the remaining US fleet to battle, and defeating them at sea Tsushima-style. as such, many of their battles revolved around wiping out US aircraft before their battleships went in to mop up the defenseless carriers. this was the philosophy behind the "mega ships" like Yamato, the A-150 "super Yamato" and, later, the "super" carrier Shinanao, built on a Yamato-class hull.

esoto1994 7 months ago
Not a single Japanese plane was shot down because in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the US carriers did not have very many fighters, in order to maximise the number of bombers available. Lexington had 20 F4Fs, Yorktown had only 12. Half of these were reserved for CAP, leaving only a handful to escort strikes. So in this strike, the Americans had only 17 F4Fs to escort 67 bombers. Not enough fighters to protect all the bombers, which is why some Zeros had a field day shooting down US bombers.

Not mindless, but savage. I've been a historian for over twenty years: if you DON'T think they were deranged killbots, something's wrong with you: to use a famous quote of a famous decorated hero of Japan, "I was a Demon then. I will never live down what I have done". Read further, about the treatment of nearly everyone under their aegis, about how they basically cared nothing for their own casualties, about how when medic..oh nevermind.
You can't ever get through to the "open minded".
menckencynic 6 months ago
@menckencynic They were deranged and savage because they were basically brainwashed to do so. They didn't commit the acts they did simply and completely on their own. That's what they were taught and trained to do. And if they didn't they would either be executed or imprisoned in some way. I understand as well as you do the kind of atrocities that occured there, because I study the war in the Pacific as well.
eneumann7755 6 months ago
Why they were savage killbots isn't really the question though, is it? That's sort of like admitting they were evil barbarians but saying "Well, that's how they were raised". Ok, so what? The question was "what were they like?".

He noted both the wing planform, the tail empennage design and the general similarity of the Zero and his racer.[9][N 2] Jiro Horikoshi, designer of the Mitsubishi Zero strongly refuted the allegation of the Hughes H-1 influencing the design of the Japanese fighter aircraft.[10]

Nice graphics, but USN aircraft didn't flame quite that easily! Also, there was a red disk inside the white star insignia at the time of Coral Sea; it was removed the week after and was not present a month later at Midway.
IIRC, it was during this battle that Swede Vejtasa splashed two or three Zeros in an SBD on CAP, probably the best bit of combat flying (and luck!) in the Pacific theater.
zsqpwxxeh 1 year ago
Coral Sea was a draw. The US lost a first line carrier. The Japanese lost a light carrier but the real damage was the loss of too many experienced crews from the air groups of the Zuikaku and the Shokaku. Shokaku was seriously damaged and was out of action until 1943. Both sides missed opportunities and many lessons were learned.
