Product: Midway (Collector's Edition) (1976)
Rating: 5.0
The only fleet opposed invasion
In 1942, Commander Rochefort went to Admiral Nimitz, and told him that the Japanese were planning to invade Midway Island then a strategic base, which as its name implies, is midway between the United States and Japan. There's a scene in the movie in which Nimitz orders Midway to send a message saying that they were out of fresh water. Since we'd broken the Japanese diplomatic and military codes, we were able to determine that the letters "AF", which kept turning up in Japanese transmissions was Midway.
