- Why, then, did you at length quote Keegan's arguments that Jutland was
- a victory because of the number of shell hits? (no, I don't think
- ship count per se counts.)

- I disagree, since basically, Jutland did not change the strategic
- situation at all, it just managed to preserve the status quo. Coral
- Sea was the high water mark of Japanese expansion in the South
- Pacific, and they never tried again to get at Port Moresby. I've
- never heard Coral Sea called a clear-cut US victory.
