Midway was a great victory for the US and the US Navy. But the Japanese got their revenge six months later in the waters off Guadalcanal Canal in what would be known as "The Battle of Iron Bottom Sound''. Nov.13-14, 1942.

"The Battle of Iron Bottom Sound'

My ship's predecessor (USS Chicago) was sunk there. We laid a wreath in the waters 35 years later.
