Military historians have called the Battle of Midway the most stunning victory in naval warfare… one of the most consequential naval engagements in world history. Our incredible men and women of the Sea Services executed a relentless campaign against the enemy and forced them to retreat.  

This battle was a major turning point during World War II — a decisive victory for the Americans and a substantial blow to enemy forces, from which they never recovered. And it was all thanks to the strategy, bravery, and heroism of our Sea Service members.
