SAN DIEGO (June 7, 2023) Capt. Matthew Cieslukowski, commanding officer of USS Boxer (LHD 4), and a native of Norwich, Connecticut, speaks to the crew during a ceremony commemorating the Battle of Midway on the mess decks. June 2023 marks the 81st anniversary of one of America’s most historically significant naval victories. Fought on the high seas of the Pacific more than half a century ago, June 3-7, 1942, the Battle of Midway altered the course of WWII in the Pacific and thereby shaped the outcome of world events.
