This mission is relatively straightforward. The enemy is seeking to destroy the carrier ''Shōhō'' in the Battle of Coral Sea. This is one of many chances to change history and prevent the US from sinking ''Shōhō'', and ultimately be able to invade Port Moresby in New Guinea. You'll be in a cruiser with full control over everything except movement. | This mission is relatively straightforward.

At the mission start, you'll be spotted by an enemy PBY Catalina. It appears off your port side at a very high altitude. Aim up and take it down quickly. | At the mission start, you'll be spotted by an enemy PBY Catalina. It appears off your port side at a very high altitude. Aim up and take it down quickly. | ||
Your next targets will be a wing of Devastators from starboard. You'll have to shoot over your allies to hit them, but don't worry about that - they can't be damaged by your own AA fire. Do everything you can to take them down, but given their distance, stopping them can be tough. A second wave of | Your next targets will be a wing of Devastators from starboard.

Around this time, you'll receive another secondary objective: launch a recon plane to deal with the USS ''Grunion'', a Narwhal-class submarine. You'll also find the recon plane effective at stopping enemy bombers from further out. Launch a recon plane and dump depth charges on the ''Grunion''. Aerial charges have been nerfed considerably since Midway, so it will likely take several runs to eliminate the submarine. Keep the pressure on it, but be ready to switch back to your cruiser in the event of additional enemy aircraft. Focus on aircraft first, and then the ''Grunion''. Have your recon plane attack the sub at its leisure while you focus your anti-aircraft fire on Dauntlesses. | Around this time, you'll receive another secondary objective: launch a recon plane to deal with the USS ''Grunion'', a Narwhal-class submarine.
