We lost one carrier out of 4, and Japan lost all four of their fleet carriers, as well as a huge portion of their most experienced pilots. We suffered painful losses, but it was the turning point of the whole war. Japan largely stopped its advances, and Allies could concentrate on Europe.
US losses:
1 fleet carrier sunk
1 destroyer sunk
~150 aircraft destroyed
307 killed,[3] including 3 killed as prisoners
Japan losses:
4 fleet carriers sunk
1 heavy cruiser sunk
1 heavy cruiser damaged
248 aircraft destroyed[4]
3,057 killed[5]
37 captured
in the beginning of the battle, we had suffered great losses and them very little. Yes that is my point. By the time the battle was over, we had changed the course of the war. This is where we are now. Trump has suffered huge losses, but 1-20 is right around the corner. I'm betting he sinks their fleet and the war takes a turn in his favor.
"little damage on the enemy" ??????
