What was something out of the ordinary about the Battle of Midway?
# A superior naval force was defeated by a lessor force # Battleships were not the main ships - Aircraft carriers were # Both "on-site" leaders (Nagumo for Japan & Spruance/Fletcher for the US) were not avaiators, yet the battle was fought by naval aircraft # The result of the battle stopped Japan's undefeated expansion in the pacific, which was "out of the ordinary" for the era. # That the carrier Yorktown was fitted with an estimated six-months worth or repairs at Pearl Harbor (sustained at the Battle of the Coral Sea in May) in just two days and returned to sea as operational in order to be in the theater of operation for Midway

How did the Japanese win against Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese sunk many USA battleships, other surface ships, and destroyed a lot of planes. The Japanese really lost at Pearl Harbor. They failed to sink any aircraft carriers, destroy the fuel storage tanks at Hawaii, or the dry docks. What the surprise attack did was to unite the USA will a vengeance and result in the rallying cry: Remember Pearl Harbor. It was only a few months later at the Battle of Midway, that four Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk to lose of one USA aircraft carrier and from then on, it was only a matter of time before Japan was defeated.

Was the USS Panay attacked by Japanese?
Yes, but there were actually three separate ships named USS Panay : # A gunboat (originally Spanish) that operated in the Philippines from 1899 to 1920. # USS Panay (designation PR-5) was a river gunboat on the Yangtze River in China, which served from 1927 to 1937, when it was sunk by Japanese aircraft (officially by mistake but likely as provocation). An unusual result of the sinking was a substantial number of donations from Japanese citizens seeking to compensate the victims. # A US Navy cargo vessel (AG-41) previously named "Midway", renamed to allow the use for the escort aircraft carrier (CVE-63) launched in 1943. Strangely enough, that Midway was also renamed as the "St. Lo" to allow the name to be used by the large carrier Midway (CV-41).
Was the Battle of Midway during the American Revolution?
No, the Battle of Midway was fought between 4 and 7 June 1942 between the United States and the Empire of Japan during World War Two. It resulted in a lopsided US victory. The Japanese Fleet was permanently damaged and decisively defeated as a result of cryptographic efforts and strategic planning. The War would continue for another three years, but the loss of carriers, pilots and aircraft had long term effects on the Japanese war effort.
Why Americans won the Battle of Midway?
The American code breakers at Pearl Harbor were, at almost the last minute, able to decode enough of Japanese radio messages to know that there would be a large-scale attack on Midway. For that reason, the American carriers, support ships, and later, a submarine, were hiding behind Midway when the Japanese struck. The American forces surprised the Japanese, sunk 4 of the aircraft carriers (The Hiryu, Soryu, Kaga, and Akagi) and other ships, with the result that the Japanese turned tail and steamed for home.
What are facts about the Battle at Midway?
# A lessor naval force defeated a superior naval force # The US ability to crack Japan's radio code led to Japan's defeat. # Main ships were not battleships...they were aircraft carriers # The result stopped Japan's pacific expansion. # The result increase the morale of the U.S. Navy as well as the American people # By having the Carrier Yorktown available, it showed that the Pearl Harbor raid six-months earlier missed a main target - the dry repair docks. # The loss of four front-line carriers by Japan were due to not having any "CAP" or "Combat Air Patrol" (a/k/a an umbrella) over the carriers. # The victory by the U.S. at Midway became the turning point of the Pacific Theater in WWII. # By defeating Japan at Midway, the U.S. was able to begin the "island hopping" campaign to bring the war to Japan's home islands. # It was only the second time that a naval battle was fought by ships who never sighted each other (both sets of ship were over each others horizon). The first was the Battle of Coral Sea a month earlier.

What was a result of the Battle of Midway?
One of the most significant results of the Battle of Midway was the decisive victory for the United States, which halted the Japanese expansion in the Pacific. It marked a turning point in the war as it weakened Japan's naval power and provided a momentum shift in favor of the Allies. Additionally, the battle boosted American morale and boosted their confidence in their ability to defeat the Japanese.
Who was The winner of the coral sea battle?
== == There was no clear victor. The Battle of the Coral Sea (between May 4 and May 8, 1942), to the east of New Guinea in the South Pacific, was considered a tactical victory for Japan since the U.S. lost a fleet carrier (U.S.S. Lexington), while Japan only lost a light carrier (Shoho). But at the same time, the battle was a strategic victory for the Allies because it forced the Japanese to abandon their attempt to land troops to take Port Moresby in New Guinea. Japan's expansion was stopped at this point, and the stage was set for the decisive Battle of Midway a month later. After Midway, the Japanese never stopped retreating.The Battle of the Coral Sea was also significant because it was the first fleet action in which aircraft carriers engaged one another without ever sighting each other. It was the first naval battle in history in which neither side's ships sighted or fired directly upon the other. If the superiority of naval air power over dreadnoughts had not been proven at Pearl harbor, it was proven once and for all in the Coral Sea.
