    76 years ago today, the @USNavy finest hour & the most important battle of the war in the Pacific (arguably the most pivotal single day of action in the entire war): the first day of the Battle of Midway, on which all 4 Japanese carriers were sunk https://warontherocks.com/2013/09/the-importance-of-the-battle-of-midway/ …pic.twitter.com/lih1MSAeQ7

        While the battle was decisive in American favor, it did not come cheaply. Waves of Navy fliers were shot into the sea, and the Yorktown suffered fatal damage after the heroic repair job to set it back to sea after the Coral Sea https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/youve-got-three-days-repairing-the-yorktown-after-coral-sea/ …pic.twitter.com/owYNu4ZMlz

        The Yorktown faced devastating attack from the air, but was sunk by a torpedo. The story, as told by the Japanese submariner who sank it https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1963/may/i-sank-yorktown-midway …pic.twitter.com/7Kqtv7x1FO

        Midway triggered a media scandal when the Chicago Sunday Tribune leaked news that revealed our cracking of the Japanese code. In those pre-internet days, however, Japan's military never found out what had been on the front page of a Chicago newspaper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2017/06/05/unsealed-75-years-after-the-battle-of-midway-new-details-of-a-critical-wwii-press-leak/?utm_term=.3c045d5009c8 …pic.twitter.com/OGer0wE05G

        Interesting. I always thought it was later in the war.

        My late father-in-law was there. A Marine stationed on Midway.

        “Miracle at Midway” by Gordon W. Prange, late historian at the University of Maryland, is well worth reading.

        The sinking of those 4 carriers represented the day Japan actually lost the war. They were in retreat from then on.

        Hard to believe, but UK and Canadian ships outnumbered them by far. We aĺl won the war.
