Mr Peter Radtke receives a wreath on behalf of Mr Derek Holyoake during a ceremony to commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea at Russel Offices, Canberra. *** Local Caption *** The Minister for Defence Industry the Honourable Melissa Price MP, invited American Japanese and Australian dignitaries and Australian Defence Force personnel to commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea (4 – 8 May 1942) at the Australian-American memorial in Field Marshall Sir Thomas Blamey Square, Canberra on Friday the 14th of May 2021. The ceremony commemorated a decisive naval battle of the Second World War, where Australian and American naval forces and aircraft halted the advance of the Imperial Japanese Navy and their attempt to capture the then Australian protectorate of Papua. The battle was the first naval action between aircraft carriers, with the USS Lexington and USS Yorktown supported by Australian and American cruisers: HMAS Australia, HMAS Hobart and USS Chicago.
