The War in the Pacific was vastly different from its opposite numbers in Europe, Africa and China-Burma-India (CBI). Given the massive spaces involved naval battles were frequent and every major land battle was brought about by the island-hopping strategy (the process of taking successive islands to provides a base from which to attack the next.)
Note: The chronology on these events may be a bit off, and this list is by no means complete.

* Pearl Harbor
* Coral Sea * Midway * Guadalcanal (Battle of Savo Island, Iron Bottom Sound, etc.) * Java Sea * Sea battles around New Guinea (This battle was chiefly fought by Japanese naval and merchant marine as they attempted to convoy supplies to their forces in the New Guinea. General George Kenney's Fifth Air Force lagrely thwarted this effort with masthead strafing and bombing attacks.) * Leyte Gulf (the last stand of Taffy 3, Surigao Strait (the last "big gun" action of the war), sinking of the IJN Yamato etc.) * Fast carrier and battleship strikes at the Japanese Home Islands.
