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.
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.
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.

At the Battle of Midway in June 1942, the United States was significantly outnumbered by the Japanese forces. The Japanese fleet consisted of four aircraft carriers, numerous battleships, and other support vessels, totaling about 160 ships. In contrast, the U.S. forces had only three aircraft carriers and around 70 ships. However, the U.S. leveraged intelligence advantages and tactical strategies to achieve a decisive victory despite the numerical disadvantage.

I would suggest that the turning point was at the Battle of Midway, when America destroyed much of the Japanese naval power.

From the Japanese side, the major goals were: (1) draw out the remaining U.S. Fleet carriers and destroy them (2) capture the island of Midway for use as a staging base for attacks against the Hawaiian Islands From the American side, the major goals were: (1) Prevent the capture of Midway (2) Inflict as much damage as possible on the Japanese fleet, while limiting damage to the American fleet
After the Battle of Midway not really unless the Japanese could make the price of victory (in terms of casualties) too much for the U.S. to bear. They failed to do that despite desparate attempts.
ammunition cost roughly $30.00 which is $65.00 in present day AmericaI am just kidding because I really don't know what ammunition is. Look it up on the internet!
why would I ask this question if I knew it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! How stupid. on the other hand I do know that u people may be ho-... never mind, its probably to much for you to take in.
