The ceremony, held on board Mount Whitney while underway in the Baltic Sea, commemorates the World War II battle against Imperial Japanese forces for control of Midway Island in the Pacific. The pivotal battle is seen as the turning point in the war, giving the United States the advantage in the Pacific campaign.
