US Fighter Lands Aboard USS Lexington, Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 1944
On the Battle of the Philippine Sea: "Since control of the Marianas would place the Japanese home islands in range of the new American B-29 Superfortress strategic bombers, the IJN decided that the time for the long-awaited Kantai Kessen (decisive battle) had arrived. Toyoda immediately ordered a fleet-based counterattack, which would commit nearly all of the Japanese navy's serviceable ships to the coming engagement."
