well after looking at some maps, finding one that would show were all the various task forces are AND would fit as an attachment in this forum didn't work out
so sorry folks, you will have to rely on the locations I post and put them on a map that you might have... I am reasonably certain everyone has access to a reasonably good map somewhere, online if nothing else

(the Tropic of Cancer is 157 miles north on Honolulu, so the Gamble was sunk around the 28th Parallel, the Japanese launch point is around the 26th Parallel, second launch point just below that and recovery point is about 30 miles north of the Tropic
The American Carriers (Brown and Halsey) are approaching Laysan Island to meet up with Fletcher and the oilers as of the early morning of December 7 (Brown and the Lexington/Yorktown from the southwest, Halsey and the Enterprise from the Northwest, and Fletcher from the East)
the Leary task group is just off the harbor of Honolulu, along with the fleet auxiliary Antares

The Japanese Midway Attack Force (cruisers, escorts and transports) are 150 miles east northeast of Wake Island steaming NNE at 10 knots (best speed of the transports and support ships) on a direct course to Midway (which is still 1000 miles, or 100 hours away) which means the American carriers are a lot closer to them than the Japanese carriers are
