What was a decisive naval battle in the Pacifix Theater of WW2 that "Zuihō" played a secondary role in?
Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II which occurred between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea. The United States Navy under Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank Jack Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet that proved irreparable. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare."
10 cm/65 Type 98 naval gun The 10 cm/65 Type 98 naval gun (六五口径九八式一〇糎高角砲 ) , also known as the long 10cm high-angle gun (長10センチ高角砲 ) , was a light caliber naval gun of the Imperial Japanese Navy used during World War II. It was employed on the aircraft carrier "Taihō" , the light cruiser "Ōyodo" , and "Akizuki"-class destroyers. From 1945, land-based installations became more prioritized. The gun was considered by the Japanese to be their finest anti-aircraft artillery weapon. After the end of World War II, the gun remained in service on the two Japanese destroyers ceded to the Soviet Union and the Republic of China as war reparations.
