The publicity pitch bills it as "..the most decisive battle in naval history..." conveniently overlooking a little dust-up a bit later called "Midway!"

Not a bad war movie for its time, but if you are interested in history and were hoping to see a movie that centers on the Battle of Coral Sea, look elsewhere. Depiction of the battle is only the last five minutes or so. :(

The action pre-dates the actual Battle of the Coral Sea. Other than footage copped from other, better, films, there's little to recommend this film.
