The Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi was sunk during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. It was primarily targeted by American dive bombers, particularly from the USS Yorktown, which delivered devastating strikes that led to significant fires and ultimately the sinking of the ship. The loss of Akagi was a pivotal moment in the Pacific Theater of World War II, marking a turning point in naval warfare.
The U.S. won the battle of the Midway only because the code breakers could figure out the Japanese codes. During the battle, the U.S. sunk four aircraft carriers, the Akagi, the Kaga, the Soryu, and the Hiryu.
