[PAR] [TLE] Battle of Midway [SEP] The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II which occurred between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea.  The United States Navy under Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank Jack Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet that proved irreparable.  Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare." [PAR] [TLE] Japanese aircraft carrier Zuihō [SEP] Zuihō (瑞鳳 , "Auspicious Phoenix" or "Fortunate Phoenix") was a light aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy.  Originally laid down as the submarine support ship "Takasaki", she was renamed and converted while under construction into an aircraft carrier.  The ship was completed during the first year of World War II and participated in many operations.  "Zuihō" played a secondary role in the Battle of Midway in mid-1942 and did not engage any American aircraft or ships during the battle.  The ship participated in the Guadalcanal Campaign during the rest of 1942.  She was lightly damaged during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands during this campaign and covered the evacuation of Japanese forces from the island in early 1943 after repairs.
