DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
• Ozawa and Admiral Koga Mineichi led Japanese attack on the United States
• Admiral Raymond Spruance was brought in for U.S to keep sea protection by setting up forces 180 degrees west of Tinian to wait for Japanese to come to them.
• American submarine Cavalla spotted Japanese 780 miles west of Saipan
• The American planes intercepted the Japanese between 45 and 60 miles from the American fleet which led to a strong start and they won the battle.
• Japanese were also inexperienced pilots and had poor planes which contributed to United States victory

• Japanese: In the first Japanese strike, 42 out of 69 plans were lost. In 2nd strike, 30 out of 128 planes returned.
• The Shokaku submarine was sunk by the USS Cavalla. Many of their navy was not fully trained.
• United States: navy wasn’t trained to get the carriers back in the dark so 80 planes either crashed or went over the side. A massive rescue operation was sent out and only 16 out of 33 pilots remained missing.
