Naval History: 71st Battle of Midway Anniversary - In May 1942, Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto sought to draw the U.S.
Pacific Fleet into a battle where he could overwhelm and destroy it. To accomplish this he planned an invasion of Midway Island
which would provide a base for attacking Hawaii. Using decrypted Japanese radio intercepts, Admiral Chester Nimitz was able to
counter this offensive. On June 4, 1942, U.S. aircraft flying from USS ENTERPRISE, USS HORNET and USS YORKTOWN attacked and
sunk four Japanese carriers, forcing Yamamoto to withdraw. The Battle of Midway marked the turning point of World War II in the
Pacific.
