What was the significance battle Of midway?

Answer 1

Midway is considered the turning point of the War in the Pacific. Prior to this, the Japanese had inflicted serious damage on American naval power with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, only failing to damage the carrier fleets. The battle of coral sea and several other skirmishes had damaged American fleets even more. At the battle of midway, the U.S. was only able to send 3 aircraft carriers to defend the islands against the Japanese four. Even though the Japanese had more ships, they did not know the Americans knew of the attack. Americans had successfully cracked a Japanese encryption detailing the assault force prior to the battle. The smaller American fleet successfully defended the islands, destroying many Japanese planes and 3 carriers in the process. The battle proved the U.S. Navy could stand up to the might of the Japanese fleets. This battle not only inflicted serious physical damage on the Japanese forces in the area, it also lowered morale.

Answer 2

By destroying all four Japanese carriers, the US was able to turn the tide of victory in the Pacific. This was very true, but Japan lost over 300 non-replaceable pilots and crew members. Japan, like Germany, did not bring their best pilot back to train new pilots like the U.S. did. One more thing, the Jap zero was the best fighter at that time, until one crash and the pilot was kill on loading. U.S. troops found this intact zero two weeks later and the rest is history.
It turned the tide of the U.S. war in the Pacific.
