[edit] What about USS Yorktown?

The Yorktown was sunk in the battle of Midway, however as I remember, it survived with minor damage in the movie. Even the young protagonist survived in the ship's sickbay. Is this worth mentioning, perhaps as a trivia? Could somebody verify it? --V. Szabolcs 22:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

You're correct. I've seen the movie [I own it], and the USS Yorktown was definitely sunk by I-168 on June 5-6, 1942 [torpedoed on one day, sank the next]. I was a bit ticked off at that in the movie myself. I've added it to trivia section.

There is nothing wrong with the film's portrayal of the Yorktown's demise as I recall it. The film ends before the I-168 sank her. It is a storyline that is left unfinished, nothing more. Or did I miss something?? LOL - Skull-1

Another humorous glitch occurs during Charlton Heston's last flight. He flies over several Japanese carriers, despite the fact that three of them (Akagi, Soryu, Kaga) were already on their way to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Only Hiryu was still afloat at that time. 12.40.61.2 16:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC) GM

Image:Midway film 1976 Eastern FM-2 Wildcat Tricolorscheme.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

It appeared that the only problem with the image was that the fair use explanation didn't include a link back to this article. Link provided; dispute tag removed. Binksternet (talk) 16:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

It seems that "the battle of midway" redirects here, rather than to Battle of Midway, which I find absolutely extraordinary. Can anyone explain a decent reason for this before I change it? Badgerpatrol (talk) 19:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm not going to wait around; I went ahead and corrected the redirect page. Binksternet (talk) 03:38, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
