The outcome of the battle humiliated the Japanese surface fleet and enforced the Allied Forces’ control over Pacific. Allied losses amounted to a light carrier, two escort carriers, two destroyers and a destroyer-escort. Japan lost four aircraft carriers, three battleships, six heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and 11 destroyers, as well as about 300 aircraft and over 10,500 sailors. ![]()
