I’ve noticed that as well. Either luck or one decision based on incomplete Intel. I always refer back to Midway on this as, had the Japanese known the US location, they may have launched the attack on the 3 carriers sooner and not have been as exposed or looking like a powder keg. Also had McLuskey not spotted the Arashi, would the US have been able to hit the Japanese carriers? Maybe not. But the decision that, for me at least, decided the battle was to rearm the Japanese Air wing with torpedoes from bombs. And the piecemeal attacks by the US bringing the fighter cover down to sea level
