Japan acting on information that its codes had been broken changed them before the battle of Midway.
However it still used its old codes helping to lure the US Navy into a trap.

By the end of the battle the US carriers Enterprise, Yorktown and Hornet are all sunk for the loss of no Japanese carriers.

This leaves only the carriers Wasp and Saratoga left for the USA.

It will not be till late 1943 at the earliest that the USA will have a naval force capable of taking on and theatrically beating the Japanese.

Where now for Japan and where now for the USA?
