:57:04
Hey, do you see what I see?.
:57:09
Damn right, I do!
:57:12
Sparks, raise Midway.
Radio: Main body.
:57:17
That's all?. Just ""Main body""?.
- Send it! - Yes, Sir.
:57:25
An American PBY, Sir.
A reconnaissance seaplane!
:57:29
Radio's picked up it's transmission.
It's alerting Midway.
:57:34
Break radio silence.
:57:36
Advise Admiral Yamamoto:
lnvasion force has been discovered.
:57:42
6 large ships in a column, bearing
262 degrees, distance 700 miles.
:57:51
Admiral.
- You were right, it's Midway.
:57:56
Enigma!
:57:59
You know what I mean, Admiral.
- Fletcher's joined Spruance on time.
:58:05
Another one from Strawberry-9, Sir.
:58:08
11 ships, course 090, speed 19 knots.
:58:13
Just what kind of ships?.
:58:15
First transmission said ""Main body"",
but didn't mention carriers.
:58:20
That PBY, Strawberry-9,
was at the end of his 700-mile leg.
:58:27
Nagumo's carriers could be
following the large ships.
:58:30
Maybe beyond his horizon.
:58:32
If they are, Fletcher's too far north.
:58:36
He has to move at top speed now to get
within striking distance by sunset.
:58:41
But if Nagumo's carriers are
coming in behind the storm front...
:58:44
Fletcher'd be caught
between two forces.
:58:47
Yes, if we let him head
for that main body sighting.
:58:54
Send a flash message to Fletcher:
This is not, repeat, NOT main body.
