The Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II in 1941 and 1942; the disappointing Brewster Buffalo was withdrawn in favor of the Wildcat and replaced as units became available. With a top speed of 318 mph (512 km/h), the Wildcat was outperformed by the faster 331 mph (533 km/h), more maneuverable, and longer-ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero. However, the F4F's ruggedness, coupled with tactics such as the Thach Weave, resulted in a claimed air combat kill-to-loss ratio of 5.9:1 in 1942 and 6.9:1 for the entire war.

Send them over the waves, our sentinels
They report in the news
Position of our foes!!!
This battlefield's been chosen, tactically in advance
Time to alert our fighters
We're soon in range
Midway!!!
We'll meet at midway, Naval war!!!
Calling all men to deck, got to be airborne
Head out into the sun
Descending on our foes
This is a crucial moment in the heat of the war
To fly and hit our targets
Down in the waves
Midway!!! (Display their might, ordering carriers, admirals at war)
We'll meet at midway (To win the fight, tactics are crucial) Naval war!!!
Far from shore, a Pacific war
Bombs are falling from the skies
It's a bomb-run day, it's the naval way
A blood-red sun is on the rise!!!
(epic guitar solo)
