Midway effectively knocked out Four Japanese Carriers in one engagement-onl one Us Aircraft carrier- the Yorktown, was lost in the engagement. It was the first major naval battle fought entirely iln the air! ( true surface ships played a part and anti-aricraft guns were ablaze on both sides). Island hopping was essential to the logistics pipeline-and battle line of the Pacific War and involved such specialists as frogmen ( to destroy underwater obstacles, natural and man-made) Seabees ( Construction Battalion men, Navy variety) as well as Marines and other servicemen in action. The island hopping was as vital to the Pacific War as the logistics pipline of supply ships ( and their encounters with U-boats-called the Battle of the Atlantic) to the European Theatre of Operations. If there were a string of Islands in the Atlantic, they would have been involved, but there are very few of tactical importance. Marines served mainly, almost exclusively in the Pacific Theate of War II.
