It's a shame about Joe Rochefort.

Recieved no real credit for what he did towards the battle of Midway. There was a move to have him recieve an award but it was killed by the Washington Code Team as they felt they deserved the credit. Being somewhat bitter about the whole thing he requested sea duty only to be assigned to a floating dry dock, his only command.

I don't think we would have done so well in the Midway Operation without his 6th sense, escecially his idea about finding out that the Japanese call sign for Midway was AF.

My hat is off to him for his many hours cracking codes which allowed victory to be possible.
