The Battle of Midway, fought in June 1942, primarily involved key American naval leaders rather than army generals. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz served as the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, while Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance commanded Task Force 16. Additionally, Vice Admiral William Halsey Jr. led Task Force 16's air operations. Their strategic leadership was crucial in achieving a decisive victory against the Japanese fleet.

The Battle of MidwayThe Japanese lost 4 aircraft carriers, the HIRYU, SORYU, KAGA, and AKAGI, along with their most experienced pilots who had fought in the early campaigns of the war and throughout China and Russia in Japan's previous wars. These losses proved devastating to the Japanese campaign in the Pacific, forcing the Japanese navy to take a more defensive stance in the Pacific War. The Americans, on the other hand, had lost only one carrier, the YORKTOWN, which had been previously damaged in the Battle of the Coral Sea. The Battle of Midway was the first major American naval victory of WWII.
