The key battles of WW2 in the Pacific included Battle of Midway in which the Japanese lost 4 of their 6 heavy carriers and a good chunk of their trained aircrews. Also the Battle of the Coral Sea in which the Japanese had damaged carriers that ultimately decided the war in the fact that only 4 of the carriers were available for the battle.
