The Battle of the Philippian Sea is remembered by American pilots as the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot because of the loss of three Japanese carriers and more than 500 Japanese airplanes.
During the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which took place on June 19–20, 1944, the Imperial Japanese Navy's capacity to conduct extensive carrier operations was completely destroyed. It happened during the Pacific War's amphibious American invasion of the Mariana Islands.
The conflict matched components of the United States Navy's Fifth Fleet against aircraft and ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Mobile Fleet as well as adjacent island garrisons.
It was the final of five significant "carrier-versus-carrier" confrontations between American and Japanese naval forces. With 24 aircraft carriers involved and the deployment of around 1,350 aircraft based on carriers, this was the largest carrier-to-carrier engagement in history.
