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.
