capturing the Japanese airfield on Guadalcanal.
Explanation: The Battle of Midway (June 1942) severely weakened Japan’s carrier strength, allowing the Allies to shift to the offensive. The next major Allied offensive in the Pacific was the Guadalcanal campaign, where US Marines captured the Japanese-held airfield (Henderson Field). The Coral Sea battle occurred earlier and Midway itself was a defensive victory for the US, not the capture of a Japanese base.
