:59:00
Expect enemy carrier strike
tomorrow behind storm front...

:59:03
... via northwest, as anticipated.
Signed, Nimitz.

:59:09
CinCPAC must think the PBY
sighted only Kondo's invasion force.

:59:14
But if it's Nagumo's attack force
with its carriers,

:59:18
and its scouts find us
before we find them...

:59:26
Sound general quarters!
:59:41
Weather is clearing, Admiral.
We could not have timed it better.

:59:46
We intercepted a radio transmission
from Tokyo to Admiral Yamamoto.

:59:50
Intelligence does not report
any movement of the American fleet.

:59:57
Whatever doubts we may have had...
- They still are with me, Kusaka.

1:00:01
We have no definitive intelligence
reports, only opinions and estimates.

1:00:05
And Yamamoto's silence
does not make them a fact.

1:00:08
Admiral.
- Genda.

1:00:16
My apologies. I've been
away from my duties much too long.

1:00:21
Genda, how are you?.
1:00:24
I'm well enough
to take charge of air operations.

1:00:29
And so you shall, my friend.
1:00:33
Prepare an air search plan right away.
- For what area?.

1:00:38
Where I would deploy my carriers
if I were an American commander.

1:00:43
There, northeast of Midway.
1:00:53
Times like this,
Joe, I miss the flatlands.

1:00:59
It's a big body of water out there.
I'm a fella from the Texas prairie.
