We lost the Lady Lex (April) then Yorktown at Midway but they turned the Japanese around in Coral Sea and saved Midway. Plus 4 Jap carriers destroyed and a light support carrier (at Coral Sea). At the time it was hugh. The Navy was finding its sea legs. Tomorrow in 1944 we got going in Europe. June was a hot month in a couple places during WWII.
Actually, Allied forces took Rome on June 4th. It was largely overshadowed by D-Day.
