enterprise dive-bombers, yorktown dive-bombers.them coming in unopposed over the combined might of the japanese -- of the carrier force. and they dove and they got three out of the four carriers. they were in shambled when they left. they were called the famous 5 minutes. all of the dive-bombers came back. but i want to emphasize here that sometimes bravery even almost futile bravery, the bravery is certainly marines and navy people and others demonstrate as a matter of course, can't have a payoff. and you can't win by intellect and planning and technology you have to face up to challenges that face you and even when the process seems futile. give it the best you can. do it -- give it best you can. i will try. the motto of the marines and the guy asked to take the island, he said i will try, sir. and they did. okay. now i talked quite a long without and to this purpose, to emphasize the role of bravery, but now i want to point out that bravery alone is not sufficient. we had brilliant intelligence and not just as an accident if adm

so two strikes for yorktown. but then here, in our strike waves from the remaining, whatever from yorktown and one from the enterprise are moved over, whatever can be launched from them and they here are supposed to launch a third strike but postponed it. they were so exhausted and were going to wait about an hour but wanted to attack at night with so few planes left. that didn't work. that gave time for the last strike and hornet and enterprise to arrive. so the end result is all four japanese carriers are now gone from dive bombers strikes. and the battle that on paper looked like it couldn't be won when it began has turned out this way. the reason this mattered was this is the balance before the battle of midway. if you look at the numbers of the ships, the japanese had these repaired. two of them were laid up. and these four going into midway. we lost the lexington and saratoga, which is being two of them were laid up. repaired from a torpedo attack. and then we have -- rushing over from the atlantic war. we

yorktown and lexington rejoin on may 5th. number three. the cry ofmber 4, scratch one flattops on may 7th. and then of course come the duals. it really, really triggers carrier operations. the lexington gets hit. i have a good friend named bill dye, passed away. but i met him when he had his cap lexington cv 2. he used to tell the story of being on board and going over the side. and he said other than losing his wallet that he had left below decks, he basically said not one man on that ship got out of line. that's how we were able to get off with so few casualties, told a story of ice cream being passed out, a ration treat in the heat and stench of that course just before of they abandoned ship. and then later they sank the lexington so it , wouldn't fall into japanese hands, sank it with a torpedo. later nimitz at that particular time, he is on the cover of "time" magazine. let me summarize three things that i think are important to the battle of midway that came out of this. one, japanese naval expansion does not just occur between pearl

that fletcher held back in yorktown for very good reasons. he wanted to make sure she did not have a-- he did pearl sea surprise, with two imperial fleet carriers coming from his flank that he was not expecting. .e stayed behind this might have graded the impression of a lag. when it came to moving the to where the japanese task force was, fletcher was ahead of the other two areas. there is another factor to take that hallsey was not there. the formation of the planes and their organization for takeoff in the hands of captain browning, who had been hallsey's chief of staff, and did a lot of thinking for him on organization strategy and so forth. it would have been interesting if halsey had been there. people forget browning being there was almost like halsey being there. if halsey made the mistake of letting our planes stacked up, browning might have done the same. there is no simple yes or no. i have no more than what i have just sent. -- just said. thank you very much. >> [applause] >> thanks elliot for that fantastic presentation. >> inter

but the three carriers to check that advance, yorktown would not have been there. yorktown would have been 3,000 miles away in the shipyard getting repairs from scars sustained in the coral sea. enterprise and hornet would have been 4,000 miles away and stationed in the coral sea. that is where admiral king wanted them to be to give prosection to australia. australia would have been asking, pleading with king they needed extra protection from the japanese fleet. the australian were worried about the japanese navy. you had those three carriers in the wrong place and no carriers in the central pacific. both those carriers and the enterprise cruised in the pearl sea on may 16. just 17 days later, moving at break neck speed by navy standards, all including northtown showed up at a place could midway, called point luck. what caused nimitz to go so quick was the transmission from the headquarters to the japanese ship, resting in the marshals called the goshumaru, was asked to go to saipan and go to a place called a-f. and pick up supplies. i will talk more about a-f late

but just 17 days later, moving at breakneck speed by navy standards, all three carriers, including yorktown showed up at point luck. what caused nimtz to act so quickly was a single message, a single transmission from an imperil navy headquarters to a japanese transport ship resting in the marshals. and it was asked to go to saipan, pick up supplies and proceed to a place called a.f. i'll talk more about a.f. later. that dispatch that was pitched up by radio men on owahu left no doubts in nimtz mind that the japanese planned to inside and occupy midway. now, general george marshal, the army's chief of staff, said the closest squeak and the greatest victory in the pacific was at midway. marshal's appraisal of midway is now widely accepted. what isn't so well known is that lightening almost didn't strike on june 4. the battle as we know it almost didn't happen. marshal called midway a close squeak, but it wasn't only a close squeak in the waters near midway. it was also a close squeak in washington with army and navy chief tons couldn't agree among themselves where the japanese would strike t

only one of the yorktown squadrons saw action in the early days of the pacific war. after return from the battle of the coral see, they grounded squadrons in saratoga. which had yet to conduct operations. as of march 4, it was still anchored in norfolk, when it deployed in midway. its torpedo squadron had never even carried live torpedoes. when did the pilots know they would be involved in battle? news of the impending mission was veiled in secrecy. it was a demand made to make sure no one outside a small circle of officers could decipher the japanese code. still, they knew midway was coming. before leaving hawaii, they received orders instructing them. for 48 hours, none can leave the base, an indication and operation was in the works. -- days then, the admiral when they described the reason thathe voyage, describing they expected to find japanese carriers and ambush them, when the meeting was over, he said are there any questions? one commander complained. not understanding why they should deploy all three carriers on a mere hunch. he was worried about his wife and

the bombers did very well in yorktown. and the f-4, wildcat, mounted 56 in the wings. it was a gas guzzler and could go dry in three hours and capable of diving slow moving torpedo bombers. it was less certain matched against the japanese bombers. a portion of fighting three john thatch tested a maneuver called the been defense position now commonly considered the thatch weave? this is what bach said after the battle. the f4 f has not enough speed and this prevented the men from completing their mission but had a devastating effect on the moral of the carrier-based pilots. it was especially grim at midway island but instead of the wildcat being piloted, it piloted its cousin, the buffalo. it was also lightly armored and could catch fire if lightly damaged and possessed electrical problems that caused the two mounted guns to shoot through. in the morning, two of them went into battle. in a half hour the japanese shot down 17 of them, killing all but a few of the occupants. they were merciless. a second lieutenant said in my opinion, zero fighter has been far underestima

he would fight, but he never wanted to be captured like cornwallis was at yorktown.wanted to avoid that kind of disaster. that would have ended the revolution. he always was and to fight another day in his battles. the important thing to him was to keep the revolution going and keep the army in the field. that new jersey, in general, and trenton in particular was very instrumental in helping him accomplish that goal. it served the continental army as a hospital. right where we're standing here at the barracks, the guards was an army hospital during the revolution. is where washington made one of his major innovations at that time by inoculating all his troops against smallpox and saved his army, which might have been wiped out, around 77 -- 1776. in addition, trenton, because of its location between new york and philadelphia, was a major supply depot. the army needed food, and trenton became, because of its a supplyc location, depot from before the battle of trenton all the way through 1783. it kept the army going. one of new jersey's main contributions to the revolu

aircraft carrier left in the pacific, because we lost the lexington, the hornet, the wasp, and the yorktown, and she was it. you who know your world war ii history, the pacific was really a carrier war. carriers, the people who had the most would be the victors. at one point after losing the hornet and wasp and she was the only one left, somebody on her light deck on a banner that said enterprise versus japan. that was really what it was at that point in time. there is a lot of history surrounding this anchor, even though it is a big hunk of metal just think of what this piece , witnessed here. some other things that surround the park here, some of the other housing. first off you can see the latrobe gate but also the tingey house, the commandant's house, which is right across the parade deck over there. and a little funny anecdote about that. when tingey died, he for some reason left the house in his will to his children because he loved the house so much and thought that he really earned the house, which i'm not sure if you can will government property to your children, but he tried to, a
