The Battle of Midway in conjunction with the Battle of the Coral Sea, WAS the turning point in the Pacific during WWII. An amazing case of providence or serendepity (if you don’t believe in God).

After the battle Nimitz made a pun: "We have not won the war but we are Midway!"
Lord I love those WWII guys.

My Uncle was on the Lexington, Gunners Mate, and then for a short period on the Yorktown, finished the War on an Antiaircraft Cruiser, except for a cousin who was on the Princeton and another who was killed when his ship was sunk by a U boat the rest joined the Marines for some reason.
