One was the JN-25 code which gave us the battle of Midway Island. We were only decoding 10% of the code at the time, but on a hunch they sent a fake message to Midway. The message was to say that their fresh water condenser was broken. It was sent out on the less secure waves so the Japanese intercept station would get the whole message. Their response identified that Midway was coded "AF". On the British side, the HMS Bulldog was able to capture an enigma coding machine from a German U-Boat. It provided them info as to where some of the U-Boats were at and warships were sent to intercept. Then there was also the Navajo Code Talkers who were able to talk over the open waves during WWII (and maybe other wars) because the Navajo language was never printed until late in the 1950's. The only bad thing about being a NCT was that if there was a chance he would be captured, the officer or NCO assigned to him was under order to kill him to protect the code.

What is foreign intelligence services?
Depending on the context, a foreign intelligence service is either an intelligence service that specialises in foreign intelligence (as opposed to security intelligence), or an intelligence service that belongs to a foreign country. The latter shouldn't require any more explaining, however I'll go into more detail about the former: Foreign Intelligence is intelligence that relates to foreign entities, whereas security intelligence pertains to domestic security issues. However, this should not be taken to mean foreign intelligence = overseas, security intelligence = domestic. Both kinds of services generally do both overseas and domestic operations, although usually for different purposes. This inevitably leads to a small degree of crossover (such as Counterterrorism or Counterintelligence), which often results in rivalry between agencies (MI5 vs MI6, for example).Some notable Foreign Intelligence services:*Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, better known as MI6 - Military Intelligence, Section 6) | Britain*Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) | Australia*Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) | USA*Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) | Canada*Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) | RussiaSome notable Security Intelligence services:*Her Majesty's Security Service (Better know as MI5 - Military Intelligence, Section 5) | Britain*Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) | Australia*Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS, deals in both security and foreign intelligence) | Canada*Federal Bureau of Investigation National Security Division (FBI NSD) | USA*Federal Security Service (FSB) | Russia
