Operation Z as the Pearl Harbour attack was properly known happen on December 7th, 1941. The Battle of Midway occurred between June 4th to 7th, 1942. The time between the two battles was 5 months and 28 days.

At the end of the battle the Japanese Navy had been devastated. Japan lost 4 Carriers and 1 Cruiser compared with 1 Carrier Sunk and 1 Destroyer.

Most spooky is the end of the battle was exactly 6 months after Pearl Harbour exactly as Yamamoto had prediction prior the Operation Z, "I can run wild for six months ... after that, I have no expectation of success"
