Vice Admiral (Ret.) Mac Showers (92), Hypo station staff who are still alive, said intelligence information is the key to the U.S. victory against Japan."Admiral Nimitz explained a few days after the battle, without the sharpness of U.S. military intelligence, we can be sure the paper in the American continent will contain news of Japan back to win and occupy Midway Islands," said Mac Showers, as quoted by the Associated Press.In sum, the Japanese ship 4 times more than the U.S. ships.

Over time, they increasingly understand the Japanese secret code, especially in May 1942. The U.S. knew Japanese fleet was moving to a target in the Pacific with the code "AF". Nimitz and his officers suspect that the location is coral islands, which includes Midway Islands.Nimitz sent a reconnaissance aircraft in a number of atolls believed to be the target of Japan. Determining occurred when U.S. headquarters in Oahu, Hawaii, received a request from Midway to improve desalination facilities. Not long after the Japanese secret messages intercepted in Australia and Rochefort unit in Hawaii to get the message "AF" shortage of fresh water. Nimitz was convinced "AF" was Midway!sure ”AF” is Midway!
