    Japanese had enormous navy and carrier count compared to America at this time.
    American intelligence intercepted and decoded this attack and planned around it.
    Admiral Nimitz placed carriers out of Japanese reach and the Japanese's air attack was caught and tailed back to their carriers by an American fleet.
    Due to flaws in Japanese planning, the carriers were easily blown up by American bombers because of the explosive cargo of bombs, torpedoes, and fuel]]>     2018-04-06 17:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wnash141/PacificB4/wish/249305827     https://padlet.com/wnash141/PacificB4/wish/249306441 -Nearly 300 ships took part in the largest naval battle ever fought.
