Philippine Sea, Battle of the the largest carrier battle of
World War II, fought off the Mariana Islands between the Japanese Mobile Fleet and the U.S. Fifth Fleet on June 19, 1944. The Japanese lost well over 300 carrier aircraft, three carriers, two oilers, and thousands of men while the U.S. lost 58 men and only 22 planes to enemy fire. The next day, the U.S. lost 49 more men and 120 aircraft, most of which crashed or were ditched after running out of fuel on a partially successful evening sortie against the rest of the Mobile Fleet. Also called the
Marianas Turkey Shoot.
