The most decisive
Naval battle of WWII changed the course of the war. This is a very good day by day and blow by blow description of the battle, including the battle of Coral Sea which took place shortly before, and had influence on the Battle of Midway. A single day changed the course of the war, and Japan went from the offense to defense.
