The Battle of the Philippine Sea was, "the last of five major 'carrier-versus-carrier' engagements between American and Japanese naval forces." What were the other four?

I know The Battle of Midway is surely one, and can guess at the rest, but having trouble googling a definitive source on all five.

  • Coral Sea (the first big carrier clash, and an Allied strategic victory)
  • Midway (the turning point, where the cream of the Japanese Navy was destroyed)
  • Eastern Solomons (which allowed the American invasion of Guadalcana to continue)
  • Santa Cruz (in which the Japanese won a tactical victory but failed to break the Allied hold on the sea around Guadalcanal and also suffered heavy aircrew losses that were irreplacable)
  • Philippine Sea (the "Marianas Turkey Shoot")

I believe that's the consensus regarding carrier vs. carrier battles. In each, the surface forces rarely or never saw each other and the fighting took place mainly over the horizon using naval aircraft. There are exceptions to this strict rule (US scouting planes and attack planes on Midway and Guadalcanal, Japanese aircraft for both Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf, submarine actions, etc), but overall these five battles saw the biggest clashes between naval aircraft launched from carriers during the conflict.
