The bombing of Dutch Harbor was planned to coincide with this battle. The cracking of the JN-25 code at Station HYPO allowed the eventual victors to set a trap with Task Forces 16 and 17. Admiral Nagumo's indecisiveness about bombing the island or carriers left his fleet vulnerable in this battle. Despite the failure of torpedo attacks, American dive bombers provided the decisive blow--known as the Famous Four Minutes--in this battle, which saw the sinking of the USS Yorktown. For 10 points, name this June 1942 battle where four Japanese carriers were sunk trying to take an American atoll, the turning of the Pacific Theater of World War II.
