Midway was certainly the most pivot-able, but U.S. superiority was probably exemplified in the Battle of Surigao Strait ( The largest naval battle in history, and the last time opposing battleships ever faced off ). Interestingly, the U.S. force sent to meet the Japanese fleet attempting to dislodge the invasion of the Philippines was made up of many of the same battleships that were sunk at Pearl Harbor.
