I learned more. Watching the Constitution 101 course their free offering that I did in three years studying law at the University of Virginia school of Law. The story from writer and Claire on two of America's first responses in the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle raid's in the Battle of the Coral Sea taken away talks on Pearl Harbor and other arrow strongholds. On December 7, 1941 far-reaching consequences shocked and angered the United States officially entered the second world war and home fronts.

People Japanese descent living in the last session. In some cases internment abroad, U.S. Navy damage cannot describe your chances to strike back now. As the US is looking for a chance to strike back. One of the goals was telltale itself. The new commander in Pacific World War I veteran Adm. Chester Nimitz indefinitely new that striking Tokyo was no mean feat chips were pretty severely outnumbered in the Pacific, and in order to get bombers close enough to strike Tokyo to send an aircraft carrier and escort ships within just a couple hundred miles of the target and at the range, he risked both the planes and ships really have any to spare. So how can he risked well the answer came in this whole plan that became known as the Doolittle raid because it was led by Lieut. Cmdr. James Jimmy Doolittle now aircraft carriers.

Regular complement of claims has a shorter range 25 range of around 1200 or more miles, so the big idea was that could be trained to take off and be 25 through the carrier's short runway those extra miles would make the whole scheme of an attack on Tokyo far less risky to the ships was that the B 25's were too heavy to land on the carriers afterwords so they had to figure out what to do with claims. Now, Doolittle's plan was that they actually continue past Tokyo after dropping the bombs and land in China because while there is a lot of conflict going on in China. There were friendly forces there that the Chinese had groups that were allied with the Americans. Even though Japan was occupying different areas. They hope they can find sheltering forces to hide them and then eventually they can just make their way back to the US New Mexico into the plan so 16 B 25's crew men boarded the USS hornet and set out the plan did succeed in parts. Now the bombers achieved their surprise they were able to unload their payloads and to fly on afterwords. Things didn't work out.

White says they might've helped one crew did not make China actually landed near Vladivostok and were detained there as authorities of the USSR may be overcome with the need to show hospitality to their new allies detained them for over a year until they got house eight of the Doolittle Raiders were captured by the Japanese imprisonment of those three were executed and one died as a POW. However, Doolittle himself, and the majority of the others did find shelter with the sympathetic Chinese has plans now. The Japanese authorities really downplayed the importance they called it the do-nothing raid instead of the Doolittle raid.

However, Adm. Yamamoto is quoted as saying even though there wasn't much damage. It is a disgrace that the skies of the Imperial capital ship and defiled without a single enemy plane being shot down as the Japanese planner next strokes their attempt to spread their influence to control the Pacific would shortly bring them into direct clash with US forces in the coral sea. But before I can really move on to the coral sea to go back a little bit. The other American responses to Pearl Harbor, US Naval intelligence was scrambling. They were fairly shocked and embarrassed to ask how badly things had gone at Pearl and Italy galvanize the efforts of people like crypt analyst commander Joseph Rochefort and Adm. Nimitz's chief intelligence officer Capt. Edwin Layton and they really were struggling to break the Japanese naval code, and in late April descent where they discovered something.

Maybe it was spurred by the successful Doolittle raid by whatever the case, Japan was preparing for a big push to expand their influence in the Pacific and it appeared they try to take Port Moresby and New Guinea, which would give them dominance of the coral sea very close to Australia, so victory, there would give the Japanese a real clear shot at Australia, as well as potentially cutting Australia supply lines of the US which would really do a number on allied efforts in the Pacific, Adm. Nimitz sent the aircraft carriers Yorktown and Lexington, along with several American and Australian cruisers to meet this threat and it turned out, the intelligence was correct. Adm. Yamamoto had sent his own forces to the coral sea, including not to but three carriers, so the stage was set for a new naval battle.

Aircraft carriers were brand-new on the scene, but they deftly change the face of naval warfare in the Pacific because both US and the Japanese could launch attacks each other while still completely out of sight. Now of course the trick is the planes would still need to be able to find the opposing vessels.

This might not sound hard in theory but poor weather conditions made it pretty difficult, especially for the Japanese, who had no radar. The opposing side spent the fifth and sixth of May, searching for each other on the morning of the sixth US planes spotted smaller aircraft. The shell hole and tanker one down to to go but the two remaining with the big carriers due to weather. On May 8. US planes had difficulty locating the Japanese carriers and when they did one took refuge under low clouds and escape the effective three bomb hits was temporarily put out of commission, but meanwhile the Japanese planes had located the Yorktown Lexington Yorktown was hit but not sunk.

Lexington, unfortunately, was, not so fortunate, she was at multiple times. The crew worked seriously to repair the ship and put out fires and for a while it appeared they were succeeding, but 12 minutes after their ships log reported that all the fires below decks were put out a new entry was logs that heavy explosions were felt venting up through about elevators and in spite of all the cruise efforts in the end she had to be abandoned and scuttled and that was essentially the end of the battle. The coral sea. Interestingly, both sides claimed victory. The Japanese lost their smaller carrier and more aircraft than the Americans. However, the loss of the Lexington was a blow to US forces in the Pacific.

Yorktown survives but had to limp back to Pearl Harbor trailing an oil slick.

Perhaps the best claim for American victory though is the fact that the Japanese plans to invade Port Moresby reported for good. As it turned out, however, the Japanese Navy did have other plans in the works is new intelligence came in Adm. Nimitz urged the workers repairing the Yorktown to hurry up because if his analysts were correct.

She was going to be needed soon to defendants midway a great job as always monthly on storytelling merely special thanks and clear. Knowing the story of the Doolittle raid's battle coral sea.
