June 4-7, 1942: The Battle of Midway
70 Years ago this week, the battle that changed everything. It was a stunning victory for the US Navy and the nation, reeling from six months of war that began with a disaster at Pearl Harbor.
The playing field was roughly leveled after Midway. The Navy had sunk 4 front-line Japanese aircraft carriers and a heavy cruiser, losing a carrier (the crippled Yorktown was torpedoed while in tow on June 6 and sank the following day) and a destroyer.
