Don't be dense. They had superior forces till we sunk so many of their capitol ships. Yes, later in the war we had superior forces, and that's because our great Admiralty overcame their forces.

So when did it change over to us having superior forces after sinking all those capitol(sic) ships?

The commanding officer of the opposing forces had a note in his pocket telling him of the plan.

Ah so then since we broke the Japanese code and had a note with the Japanese plans in our pocket, so to speak, then Midway was entirely due to luck?

I think his opponents did not have their heart in what they were doing. They knew they were in the wrong, and could not really muster up the will needed to kill so many people who were only defending their homeland.

So you keep saying. No need for evidence, just your native brilliance and deduction of their intent.

Not entirely, but due to a large extent. Look up that "lost squadron." Were it not for that bit of luck, things would have turned out quite differently.

Unfortunate for the Squadron, but of immense value to our side that things just worked out as they did.
