4. Parche, thanks for remembering this important WW2 naval battle
The significance of this battle is that the Japanese war expansion was halted. Midway was the turning point.

Years ago I read the full set of U S Navy History in WW2 by Adm Samuel Eliot Morrison, famed Harvard historian. If you ever get a chance this is an extraordinary history told by a renowned historian that served active duty in the Navy, participating in many of the actions in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of battle. Your post now makes me want to again read the full set of volumes. Thanks again, especially as I'm tiring of reading so many leadership books.
