The US Navy and the Japanese Navy, 75 years ago, fought two historic naval battles which changed the course of the Pacific War and naval history.I'll be putting together a clan directory for the benefit of the community. On May 8-4, 1942, in the battle of the Coral Sea, just to the northeast of Australia, the two adversaries fought each other, entirely with naval aircraft, in the first naval battle in which the opposing warships never saw each other. One month later, June 4-7, the two navies again fought each other at Midway in the central Pacific.Īgain, naval aircraft of the two sides served as the major tactical combatants. A resounding American victory, this engagement stopped the offensive advance of Japan and inflicted significant, irreplaceable Japanese ship and personnel (pilots and aircraft maintainers) losses. In the early 1920s, American airpower advocate and “father of the US Air Force,” Brigadier General William “Billy” Mitchell had predicted the rise of naval airpower and the vulnerability of warships to aircraft. The concept of the aircraft carrier began on November 14, 1910, when Eugene B. Ely in a Curtis pusher aircraft took off from a platform built over the bow of the USS Birmingham, anchored off Norfolk, Virginia. On January 18, 1911, he landed his aircraft, using a tailhook and landing wire, on a platform built over the stern of the USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Bay. By the end of World War I, the Japanese, Austro-Hungarian, and British navies had conducted the first naval air attacks.Īfter the end of the war, Mitchell came to strongly believe that airpower would become the predominant military force and urged the formation of an independent air force. Additionally, he felt that aircraft had made surface fleets obsolete and that the nation should use the funds, earmarked for battleships, to build hundreds of aircraft instead. Finally, he urged the country to build floating bases (aircraft carriers?) for aircraft to defend the nation against naval threats. To prove his belief that warships were vulnerable to air attacks, Mitchell convinced Army and Navy leaders in early 1921 to sponsor a demonstration in which aircraft would attack obsolete World War I warships off the Virginia coast. Although the Navy’s rules of engagement for the demonstration restricted Mitchell’s initial conduct of the demonstration in July, aircraft of his First Provisional Brigade eventually sank several former German warships, including the battleship Ostfriesland, and seemingly proved Mitchell’s point. While some senior Navy and Army leaders contested the results, the Navy interestingly continued its development of naval aviation. The 1922 Washington Naval Treaties restricted the tonnage of cruisers, battlecruisers, and battleships.
