Nimitz interpreted the codes…

the USN knew Midway was the main objective and was not dissuaded in any way. Even though the attack damaged Dutch Harbor severely, in the end, it hurt Japan far more than helping due to the loss of a slightly damaged Zero, which was recovered by American ground forces. This recovery led to the reveal of the weaknesses of the Zero, culminating in the previously unbeatable plane’s defeat. Along with the attack on the Aleutians, American planes took off in search of the enemy off of Midway on June…

It is about two years in the war and all of the countries are on high alert due to the power craving countries of Italy, Germany, and Japan.

August 2, 1943. An American Lieutenant, 27 years of age, was with his crew of 13 aboard a PT boat near Japanese waters. It was late at night. Suddenly, the Lieutenant spotted in the darkness the outline of a boat coming straight towards them. At first he mistook it for a fellow PT boat-no cause for alarm. Yet as it came closer, he realized what it was: A Japanese destroyer. He made an attempt at the guns and tried to move out of the way, but it was too late. The PT boat was hit by the enormous…
