The U.S. Navy’s determination, zeal, and valor at the Battle of Midway, fought June 4-7, 1942, halted the Imperial Japanese navy’s advance, and turned the tide of the war in the Pacific during World War II. Victory at Midway redefined Naval warfare, showcasing the aircraft carrier as the Navy’s preeminent power projection platform. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kevin C.
