Eighty years ago today, May 3rd, 1942,
The first day of the first modern naval engagement in history, called the Battle of the Coral Sea.
The Battle of the Coral Sea was unique because it was the first naval battle in which both sides fought without seeing the other.
It was also the first naval battle fought entirely by carriers.
The United States, having broken Japan’s secret war code and forewarned of an impending invasion of Tulagi and Port Moresby, attempted to intercept the Japanese armada.
Four days of battles between Japanese and American aircraft carriers resulted in 70 Japanese and 66 Americans warplanes destroyed.
This confrontation, called the Battle of the Coral Sea, marked the first air-naval battle in history, as none of the carriers fired at each other, allowing the planes taking off from their decks to do the battling.
Among the casualties was the American carrier Lexington; “the Blue Ghost” (so-called because it was not camouflaged like other carriers) suffered such extensive aerial damage that it had to be sunk by its own crew.
Two hundred sixteen Lexington crewmen died as a result of the Japanese aerial bombardment.
Although Japan would go on to occupy all of the Solomon Islands, its victory was a Pyrrhic one:
The cost in experienced pilots and aircraft carriers was so great that Japan had to cancel its expedition to Port Moresby, Papua, as well as other South Pacific targets.
Saluting one of the survivors aboard the fateful USS Lexington, Cecil Wiswell who recently passed on March 26th of this year.

May 2nd 2011 - Osama bin Laden, the founder and head of the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda, was killed in Pakistan shortly after 1:00 am PKT (20:00 UTC, May 1) by U.S. Navy SEALs of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six).
The operation, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out in a Central Intelligence Agency-led operation.
In addition to DEVGRU, participating units included the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and CIA operatives.
The raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was launched from Afghanistan.
After the raid, U.S. forces took bin Laden’s body to Afghanistan for identification, then buried it at sea within 24 hours of his death.
The United States had direct evidence that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, knew of bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites, vowing to avenge the killing.

The line "To the shores of Tripoli" refers to the First Barbary War, and specifically the Battle of Derne in 1805.
After Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon and his Marines hoisted the American flag over the Old World for the first time, the phrase was added to the battle colors of the Corps.

Remembering the 247th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride from Boston to Lexington, warning of the British advancing on April 18th, 1775 through the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow…
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year."
