Inspired by the debate about Singapore elsewhere, and working on the assumption that the Japanese success could burst at any seam from over-tasking. The IO raid ended on about April 10 and Coral Sea started on about May 4, the Eastern Fleet was covered the invasion of Madagascar on May 5. WI instead of covering this low value sideshow Sommerville conducted some offensive attacks against Japanese occupied facilities while the IJN was busy at Coral Sea? Would it help Fletcher for the Japanese to hear on the eve of Coral Sea that RN carriers are attacking at the other end of the theatre? Were there any juicy targets in the IO that Sommerville could destroy?
