During the Battle of Midway, the Allies, primarily the United States Navy, used a significant amount of ammunition, with estimates suggesting that around 100,000 rounds of various calibers were fired. This included naval gunfire from ships, as well as munitions from aircraft engaged in the battle. The intensity of the conflict and the high stakes contributed to the extensive use of ammunition throughout the battle, which took place from June 4 to June 7, 1942.

What is a description of the Battle of Midway?

Midway was a battle between the U.S. Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy.It resulted in a devastating defeat for the Japanese as they lost 4 aircraft carriers in this one battle. These carriers were the Akagi,Hiryu,Kaga,and Soryu. Although there remained much bloody fighting in the Pacific after this battle the Japanese Navy never fully recovered from this loss.


Was the Battle of Midway fought on the ocean?

Very much so. The Island of Midway is a small atoll a little over 2 square miles that is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 1,500 miles NW of Hawaii. That was the only piece of land in the entire battle and the Japanese never set foot on it. The battle was considered the most decisive battle of WWII in the Pacific as it effectively wiped out the Japanese carrier fleet (4 carriers sunk) and their best pilots and turned the war into the Allies favor. The losses were irreplaceable to the Japanese because of their limited resources and shipyards and very long training programs for pilots.
