What happened next? |
June 3-5, 1942 US knew what was coming because of the broken codes, Admiral Nimitz positioned his 3 carriers, the Hornet, Enterprise and Yorktown, out of Japanese reconnaissance range. As the Japanese carriers launched their planes to assault the Midway defenses, the U.S. planes headed for the enemy carriers. It took attack after attack, but finally the U.S. crews got through and sank 3 Japanese carriers. The next day the fourth carrier was sunk. Japanese planes sank the Yorktown but in 1day Japan lost its bid for control of the Pacific. |

Navy policy was to place members of the same family on different ships, but the 5 Sullivan brothers, from Waterloo, Iowa, insisted on staying together onboard the USS JUNEAU which was damaged during the battle in a close-range night encounter & later torpedoed killing the Sullivan's along with 700 others. Because of this tragedy, the Navy policy was reinstated & a ship was later named in their honor. Japanese lost 2 cruisers, 6 destroyers & the southern Solomon's came under Allied control and Australia was in less danger of attack. |
