What was the name of the battle between America and Japanese air craft carriers?
The Battle of Midway was the turning point for the Allies when they defeated the Japanese on the sea. This was the first time the Allies had defeated the Japanese juggernaut.

What was Harry Trumans philosophy on World War 2?

What is the relationship of the us president with the armed forces?
The President is the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces.
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.

Why was the air force established?
The air force was established in September 1947. The National Security Act of 1947 set up the air force. Once known as the part of the army and called the air army unit it was separated and established to create a separate and equal element to the military. It is believed that funds were lacking for the units in air army and by separating and creating it's own identity it could be set up to receive monies from the US government for personnel and for building equipment.

Party affiliation of Harry S. Truman?
Truman was an anti-communist, and was the author of what is known as the Truman Doctrine, which stated that the US must act to prevent any additional countries from becoming communist. This was the basis for the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, and many other smaller conflicts around the world. As a Democrat, he also had some modestly progressive ideas, for example, it was on his order that racial segregation in the US military was ended. Of course, it was not until the much later administration of Lyndon Johnson that action was taken on a federal level about racial discrimination in society in general. But Truman did take a small step in that direction.
Who is more powerful Indian navy or Pakistan navy?
Both India and Pakistan have vast armies. Which one is stronger? No one can be sure. If we exclude nuclear arsenal, then India has the upper hand in infantry, artillery (both by number of soldiers and technological support). Pakistan's Navy is far weaker. By air, muscles are to be evaluated carefully, looking for all the parameters.

During the America-Japan war did Japan deserved to be bombed?
This is a question that many different people have argued about, with no clear outcome one way or the other.
On the one hand, the proponents of dropping the atomic bomb say that it saved millions of Japanese and Allied lives by ending the war early and preventing the need for an Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands, which the Japanese would have defended fiercely (it would have been far more bloody that the American/Canadian/British landings at Normandy).
On the other hand, by August 1945 there was clearly no way Japan could have won the war. Its forces were short of equipment, fuel and manpower, its cities had been razed by US bombing, its factories were destroyed, its lack of shipping meant that the population was at risk of starvation, and, most importantly, the Soviet Union had just declared war and was preparing to invade Japan from the north. The Japanese cabinet was divided 50-50 between those who supported unconditional surrender and those who did not; it was clear to all of them that Japan had to surrender sooner or later.
Many people have suggested that the Soviet threat was actually the main reason that prompted the Japanese government to finally surrender, not the bombings themselves.
Secondly, many people argue that the use of atomic weapons, especially against civilians, is clearly a war crime and if the Germans or Japanese had ever used them they would have been tried and possibly even executed after the war. The only reason that the allies got away with it is that they won the war.
The debate continues.
Assuming by "America-Japan war" you mean World War II, it's widely debated whether Japan "deserved" to be bombed or not. It's a completely subjective question.
Japan did terrible things during World War II particularly to the Chinese, but by the time the Enola Gay was headed for Japan, Japan's situation was already dire (most of Japan's cities had been fire-bombed, its citizens were starving, etc.) and they were in talks with Russia to surrender.
How to protect ourselves from man made disasters?
The first thing you need to do is understand how unbelievably rare nuclear disasters are, your more likely to be struck by lightning really. Chernobyl was initiated by under qualified technicians and Three Mile Island was the result of a rusty water valve that wouldn't shut (they were so far from a melt down its almost comical). both events have lead to vast improvements in personnel training and safety implements. However, in the far fetched event that a large amount of radioactive material is released into the air, your best bet would be to find shelter in a basement or preferably a concrete/metal bunker. Radioactive chemicals used in bombs and civil power are usually very heavy metals that emit particles that are not extremely dangerous unless inhaled or ingested, so a gas mask is likely to offer a good amount of protection as a last resort. as in any situation, listen in to broadcasts and follow instruction from emergency workers.

Is the atomic bomb the most powerful bomb in the World?
No. The hydrogen bomb is the most powerful bomb in the world.
The first atomic bombs split atoms of Uranium and/or Plutonium.
Later development in theory and technology have made the Hydrogen bomb possible.
This is in fact a 'normal' atomic bomb with a core of hydrogen. When the Atomic bomb goes off, this create an immense pressure on the hydrogen. This pressure (and heat) causes a fusion reaction of Hydrogen atoms.
A 'relatively' small atomic bomb can trigger a quite large payload of hydrogen fusion material.
Further developments of this massive destructive weapon has been to implement yet another core with radioactive material filled with more hydrogen. This inner core get super compressed by the first explosions, something of which drastically adds to the speed of material being consumed. Explosion being amplified tenfold.
All such powerful devices are named 'nuclear' devices or nuclear bombs.
Some are mostly a fission bomb, and others are mostly a fusion bomb.
The fusion bombs are more powerful than fission bombs alone when comparing size and weight of 'stuff that go boom'
Both fission and fusion bombs are considered atomic bombs, and their kind is among the most powerful devices known to man today.
In theory, it should be possible to make an Antimatter payload. Something like a few grams could rival the energy released by the most powerful bombs today.
