to Midway: The Quest to Find the Yorktown and the Other Lost Ships from
the Pivotal Battle of the Pacific War by Robert D. Ballard, et al. National

On
the morning of June 7, 1942, six months to the day after the attack on
Pearl Harbor, the USS Yorktown "turned over on her port side and sank in
about 3,000 fathoms of water with all battle flags flying." The Battle
of Midway was finally over. On the morning of May 19, 1998, Robert D. Ballard
stared into a video monitor hoping for a glimpse of metal on the bottom
of the sea. "Thar she blows! Bingo!" After almost three weeks out, painstakingly
scanning the ocean floor with high-altitude sonar, and many months of research
and planning, Ballard and his crew had spotted the Yorktown some three
miles down. The wreck was in remarkably good condition: "It was as if we
had stumbled on the ship a few minutes after it made its death plunge."

Stanford E. Linzey's book-God Was At Midway-has incorporated the author's
love of God, wife, and call to duty. This is the ultimate war story of
love and sacrifice, the Godly wife who prayed for her husband and stood
with him no matter what, while he faced possible death while many of his
shipmates suffer horribly.
