Congrats, for sure, Navy; an outstanding three day battle; great job!

That's a great read.  I did not know those details in our great history.  Of course they never taught us THAT in school.

Thanks Richard!

a complete turn around in the pacific, well done Navy.  Tom

The Military Channel is now broadcasting a special on the Battle of Midway -- altogether fitting and proper.

The victory of the United States Navy at Midway was the result of what has to be the greatest intelligence coup in the history of naval warfare. As Tom has noted, it changed the course of the entire war in the Pacific.

I must have missed it.  Maybe it will be on again later tonight.
