Battle for Midway: Episode 7 - U.S. Torpedo Bombers

Dr. Tyler Bamford, a historian at Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), reflects on the Battle of Midway. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Ellen E. Sharkey)

June 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of one of America’s most historically significant naval victories. The U.S. Navy’s determination, zeal, and valor at The Battle of Midway, a multi-day engagement fought June 3-7, 1942, blunted the Imperial Japanese navy’s striking force and its advance across the Pacific. Navy strategy in this conflict leveraged the power of our aircraft carriers, sustaining sea control and shifting the paradigm of maritime power projection to the carrier force. Our remembrance of Midway illustrates how our battle achievements in innovation, intelligence and courage serve as a model and as inspiration as we face the challenges of the future.
 
Naval History and Heritage Command historians revisit the battle in a 9-part video series.

I feel like showing some substance lacking documentary shorts, instead of addressing the state of our current navy is absolutely the right choice.

Sarcasm.
