They did NOT get their ass handed to them at Coral Sea. It was a draw. Although since it technically stopped the Japanese for the first time, it was more a moral victory.

Midway: Ok they was grade A ass whoopin (via a little luck and some codebreaking, and Japanses battle doctrine).

Guadacanal: Thats when we took over. After Midway, Fleets were roughly on par. And the last thing you want to do with the good ol USA is get in a meat grinder where you chew up ships/pilots/resources. And Fall of 42 was just that: a meatgrinder.
