Admiral Chester Nimitz, Taliyaha Guud ee Ciidamada Badda ee Mareykanka, ayaa go'aansaday in uu ka faa'iideysto fursada si uu ula dagaalamo. luminta marinka Midway waxay noqon laheyd khatar aad u weyn maxaa yeelay Japan waxay si sahal ah ula wareegi laheyd Hawaii waxayna halis gelineysay xeebaha galbeed ee Mareykanka. Khasaaraha ka soo gaaray madaxa markabka ee Halsey, kaasoo ahaa kii ugu adkaa uguna khibrada badnaa dagaalkii ka hor intii aanay dhicin dhibaatadan, wuxuu Nimitz u ahaa dhabar jab aad u weyn.
