This operation paved the way for Midway in June – Japan was rattled, focusing on defense, and distracted by Chinese. We had cracked their naval code, and Admiral Chester Nimitz ordered the interception of the main fleet, resulting in the battle that turned the tide in the Pacific Theater. Never forget the repercussions and impacts for good our small decisive victories can have on the overall tide of our lives and those around us.
