Midway

1:17:00

Very well.

1:17:02

Order our torpedo bombers
to be rearmed with contact bombs.

1:17:05

As soon as they are ready,
we will launch a 2nd strike on Midway.

1:17:42

57 planes on the line, Sir.

1:17:44

The Hornet will probably
launch about the same number.

1:17:48

What's the enemy carriers' position?.
- 135 miles, Sir.

1:17:54

If we launch immediately,
do our pilots have enough fuel?.

1:17:57

Yes, Sir. If the weather holds,

1:18:00

they navigate perfectly and
aren't over the target too long.

1:18:04

If we launch now, we might
catch Nagumo like a sitting duck.

1:18:09

If we wait, it will give him time
to refuel and reload.

1:18:15

Sir, the PBY reported only 2 carriers.

1:18:18

I know.
- lntelligence says he has 4.

1:18:21

If those other 2 suddenly pop up...
- Then we'd be sitting ducks.

1:18:29

But we have 2 certain targets
135 miles away that don't expect it.

1:18:37

Let's get Enterprise
and Hornet turned into the wind.

1:18:46

It's from Admiral Spruance.

1:18:48

Enterprise and Hornet are launching
every aircraft they've got.
