An item reported that there were still no official reports available dealing with the Battle in the Coral Sea.(1) The withdrawal of the Japanese striking force seemed to be correct but could not be confirmed. It seemed that prior to the end of 8 May all Japanese warships in the Truk-Melanesia area arrived at time to participate in the battle.
Note
1. Between USA and Australia against Japan between 4-8 May 1942.
