7 June 1942 - MAJOR DEFEAT IN THE PACIFIC FOR THE JAPANESE NAVY: A
ferocious three-day battle a thousand miles west of Hawaii ends in a
rout of the Japanese navy by an underestimated American defense. Pearl
Harbor is partly avenged on its six-month anniversary, and the Battle 
of Midway turns the tide towards Allied victory in the Pacific.

The U.S. Navy under Admirals Chester W. Nimitz, Frank J. Fletcher, and
Raymond A. Spruance defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese
Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo
north of Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese
fleet. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and
decisive blow in the history of naval warfare"
