United States Vs. Japan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the loss of Vice Admiral Nagumo's four fleet carriers, Admiral Yamamoto realised that his Midway offensive had turned into a disaster for the Japanese Navy. He believed that he could still save face by concentrating his battleships and cruisers and launching night attacks on the Midway military installations and the two surviving American carriers and their warship escorts. The advantage in night actions would lie with the Japanese who had developed a high degree of technical skill in night fighting at sea, and Yamamoto was aware that the American carriers would be hampered by the difficulty of launching and recovering aircraft at night.
However, Rear Admiral Spruance had foreseen the possibility of a night attack on his carriers by Japanese warships, and had temporarily withdrawn his ships to the east. Shortly after midnight, on 5 June, when there was no longer a question of a night action, Spruance turned back in the hope of closing with the Japanese warships in time for a daylight air strike.
