		Able to carry 20 HRS helicopters and 940 troops, Thetis Bay proved to be more a temporary expedient than a final solution to the sea services' amphibious assault challenge.

	Murderer's Row: U.S. Aircraft Carriers
		Of these, the battle of Midway was the most devestating carrier battle, with five carriers out of seven that actively participated in the battle sunk.
		A clear sign of the offensive/defensive ratio of carriers in 1942 is the fact that USS Enterprise was solely responsible for the destruction of Akagi, Kaga and Hiryu,while USS Yorktown of the same class was unable to defend itself against a single carrier's strike power, Hiryu's.
		Carrier battles were, in 1942, thus like the battlecruiser matches of the earlier war: both sides carried the weapons to defeat the other side many times over, but neither was even close to well protected.
