The map shows the course and relative positions of thefleetys on 5 June of the Midway battle. The turn around & retirement in response to Yamamotos order in the early morning is clear. My question, which is more for information than a WI concerns Yamamotos intent after the remnant of the Mobile Force & the 2d Fleet connected? He was still expecting a surface battle with carrier support, but how was he expecting to execute that?

The second map is my wild guess at a possible course the 2d Fleet would take after rendezvous. anyone have solid information on this?

Thanks in advance.
