"Midway" refers to the Battle of Midway, a significant naval battle that took place during World War II from June 4 to June 7, 1942. It occurred between the United States Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy, marking a turning point in the Pacific Theater. The U.S. forces, having broken Japanese codes, were able to anticipate and counter the Japanese attack, resulting in a decisive victory. The battle involved aircraft carriers, with the U.S. sinking four Japanese carriers: Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu. This loss severely weakened Japan's naval strength and shifted the balance of power in the Pacific, allowing the Allies to take the offensive in subsequent operations.
