Question

Short definition of the battles of coral sea, Guadalcanal, and midway.

Answer 1

Answer:

Guadalcanal proved that the US Navy could, with losses, take on the Japanese at night fighting. American gunnery and small unit tactics matured and by the end of the campaign proved to be efficient offensive threats, much as Midway proved the effectiveness of US naval airpower.
