While the allies storm France, American forces hit Saipan in the Marianas Island.

 

The Enterprise supports one of the largest and most deadly battles of the Pacific War. Enterprise and her sister carriers nearly wipe out Japanese Naval Airpower in the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot" and devastate enemy surface forces in the Philippine Sea. It is one of the greatest carrier battles of the war. As a result, the Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise became the most decorated ship of World War II.
