Naval warfare was particularly effective for the U.S. in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Key battles, such as the Battle of Midway in 1942, turned the tide against Japan by significantly weakening their naval capabilities. The U.S. Navy's strategy of island hopping allowed for the systematic capture of strategic islands, facilitating the eventual launch of attacks on the Japanese mainland. This dominance at sea was crucial in securing victory in the Pacific.
