Answer:

A common element in the Battle of Midway and in Pearl Harbor is the power of aircraft as a new offensive strategic weapon and the role of naval force in modern warfare. The Japanese bombers damaged and sank American vessels in Pearl Harbor; in Midway, it was American bombers that managed to destroy or sink all the Japanese aircraft carriers. And here is another major issue: the role of the aircraft carriers as a the decisive weapon in naval power. Without carriers, the Japanese Navy would have never been able to strike with such a force on December 7, 1941; and the US was able to mobilize and counterattack in the Pacific thanks to the carriers, which were not anchored at Pearl Harbor bay the day of the Japanese attack. The US carriers and their planes proved fundamental in the victory at Midway.
