The Sims went down at that time 1 and the Neosho sank several days later as the result of damage - received. The campaign cost the Japanese more than 100 aircraft, the navy said without giving its own losses in planes. Fitting the Coral sea battle into its place in relation to earlier fighting, the navy began its sum mation by telling of the situation in early March. At that time, the Japanese had overrun Malaya and the Dutch East Indies and the world was wondering where they would strike next. Many believed Australia was the next objective and the United States was striv ing mightily to build up defenses there. The Japanese were observed, the navy said, to be concentrat ing transports and combatant ships at Salamaua and Lae, New Guinea ports, presumably for an attempt to occupy Port Mcresby, New Guinea jump ing off place for an attack on northern Australia. Intermittent attacks by Austra lian-based planes were made on Salamaua and Lae, and on March 10 aircraft from a Pacific fleet task force commanded by Admir al Wilson Brown attacked the ports and sank or damaged more than 20 enemy ships in addition to damaging shore installations. All through April the persis tent Japanese were gathering their forces .and early in May seised land bases and carried out preliminary operations for ' an advance into the Solomon and Louisiade islands. Then, on May 4. the battle of the Coral sea began when a task force under command of Rear Ad miral Frank J. Fletcher found a part of the Japanese invasion force at anchor in and around the harbor of Tulagi,, capital of Florida island, in the Solomon archipelago which forms the northern barrier to the Coral sea. "In spite of the excellent Japa nese air reconnaissance facili ties," the navy related. "Admiral Fletcher's attack caught the Japa nese forces completely by sur prise and all but annihilated them. A few shiDS manaeed to get under way, but most of these were severely crippled and some were later beached to prevent their sinking. Three days later, on May 7, Fletcher's forces found and at tacked the main Japanese forces in the Louisiade - archipelago t off Misima. It was there -the nV the Ryukaku, recording (hf navy said, "fifteen bomb hltt imA 4n torpedo hits."
