Extractions: American territories Although nearly all of the American territories have the white sandy beaches of the more popular territories like Puerto Rico, not all are truly tourist destinations. The United States of America is comprised of more than just her fifty states. The US also owns territories in trust, most of which are islands scattered about the Pacific Ocean. Although nearly all of the US owned islands have the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the more popular US territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, not all are truly tourist destinations. Some 2300 miles off the coast of Hawaii, deep within the Pacific Ocean, lies the American Samoa Islands. The territory consists of seven islands with a total population of approximately 56,000 people. The Islands are currently under the administration of the US Department of the Interior. They are considered unincorporated islands which means that most, but not all, of the US Constitution applies to the Samoans and their land. The natives of these islands are considered to be the last remaining true Polynesians. The National Park of American Samoa protects 8,000 acres of paleotropical rainforest and coral reef. It is also a refuge for the Flying Fruit bat. Despite the park, tourism to the Samoa Islands is low. According to the US Department of the Interior, the Islands have no international airline service, only one major hotel, and they are frequently battered by damaging typhoons. The islands remain, however, important in the tuna canning industry.

Extractions: SECNAV Gordon England's Remarks at 2004 Battle of Midway Dinner The Battle of Midway, fought near the Central Pacific island of Midway, is considered the decisive battle of the war in the Pacific. Before this battle the Japanese were on the offensive, capturing territory throughout Asia and the Pacific. By their attack, the Japanese had planned to capture Midway to use as an advance base, as well as to entrap and destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Because of communication intelligence successes, the U.S. Pacific Fleet surprised the Japanese forces, sinking the four Japanese carriers, that had attacked Pearl Harbor only six months before, while only losing of one carrier. After Midway, the Americans and their Allies took the offensive in the Pacific. Background to the Battle of Midway Following the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, the Japanese armed forces conducted military operations against U.S., British Commonwealth, and Dutch possessions in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. The first phase of these operations, which was the seizure of Malaysia, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, and various island groups in the central and western Pacific, was virtually complete by March 1942. The second phase, initiated by Japanese Imperial Headquarters on 23 January, was designed to isolate and neutralize Australia and India. In the Pacific, this plan envisioned the seizure of bases in Papua/New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, which would be used to support future operations against New Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa. By early March, with the seizure of Lae and Salamaua, the entire north coast of Papua/New Guinea had fallen to Japanese forces who were planning for an amphibious invasion of Port Moresby.
