Wishing to keep the morale of their readers in an elevated position, the editors of Yank saw fit to distribute some blarney throughout much of this article. And it worked; to read this piece is to believe that the Allies had won the battle. At the end of the day, however, historians of the war remember the battle as being a tactical victory for the Japanese and a strategic victory for the Allies. The Newsweek article that leads the scroll on the right is far more accurate.

ALLIED LOSSES

Lexington (carrier)
Neosho (oiler)
Sims (destroyer)
- and 66 aircraft.

JAPANESE LOSSES

Shoho (carrier)
Kikuzuki (destroyer)
Three auxiliary vessels and 77 aircraft.
