Midway, June 4, 1942. There were four great carrier battles in 1942 but Midway was the most clear-cut US victory. There was not another major carrier battle until June 1944, which was another US lopsided victory, often called the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot". This latter battle basically finished Japanese naval air power, though the US did not realize it. The Japanese still had a few carriers but all their experienced pilots were dead.
