ミッドウェー海戦
The [b]Battle of Midway[/b] was a major naval battle in the Pacific theater of [[World War II]] that took place on 4-7 June 1942. 

The [[United States Navy]] managed to score a decisive [[victory]] against the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] by sinking four aircraft carriers ([[akagi_(aircraft_carrier)|Akagi]], [[kaga_(aircraft_carrier)|Kaga]], [[hiryuu_(aircraft_carrier)|Hiryuu]] and [[souryuu_(aircraft_carrier)|Souryuu]]) along with several well-trained pilots. These losses proved crucial for the outcome of the war as [[Japan]] was never able to fully replace the ships, the planes and the skilled pilots it needed to win the conflict. 

Thus this battle would become the turning point of the Pacific theater of WWII.
