NM- 9.2
Called one of the most decisive naval battles in all of history, the U.S. engaged Japan’s fleet off the island of Midway. After deciphering Japanese communications, the Americans set an ambush for Japan’s fleet. Three U.S. carriers surprised a larger fleet with 4 carriers. Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown (the Japanese believed that she was sunk at Coral Sea), dealt a devastating blow from which the Empire’s navy never recovered. All 4 Japanese carriers were sunk and nearly 250 of their aircraft were lost. The Yorktown was severely damaged and while efforts to save her were underway, the submarine I-168 put two torpedoes into her and sunk the USS Hammann, which was supplying power for the Yorktown’s repairs. Yorktown sank the following day.
