Yes, Guadalcanal/Soloman Campaign were significant victories and helped seal the deal for the U.S., but Midway occurred prior and was the decisive naval engagement which halted the Japanese advance in the Pacific and paved the way for the United States' Island-Hopping Campaign, which included Guadalcanal. Without the U.S. victory at Midway, there would almost certainly not have been a Solomon Campaign. Excellent input though. Greatly appreciate the discussion.
That would be tough being a codebreaker or a commander who knew the code had been broken, having information that would save lives and allow casualties to happen in order to keep that information secret for the bigger picture.
lol well, there were women on the code breaking team which helped with the intelligence gathering and plenty of women served in non-combat roles during the war, but no, not directly in the battle. Simple AI assisted typo that I didn't catch during final review. Good Catch though.
Turning point of war in Pacific was Guadalcanal/Solomon campaing. This battle of attrition was thing, that broke camel back.

The British had broken German codes using Enigma, had the same problem of not using the intelligence.
So in a week or two we were in Tokyo bay? Turning the tide? Hell with that!
"The bravery displayed by the men and women involved..."
I wasn't aware there were any women involved in the Battle of Midway.
