Quote context
[...]
- He will not realize our objective is Midway until 24 hours later, when Admiral Nagumo's carriers strike the island and destroy the American planes and shore batteries.
- At that hour you move in, Kondo, with your invasion forces.
- Nimitz will be forced to respond. He will have to commit the balance of his fleet, most certainly his carriers, to repel the invasion. His carrier commander will undoubtedly be Admiral Halsey.
- I have studied his tactics and I have studied the man.
- Halsey is courageous, tough-minded and not afraid to take risks, but these strengths, we will turn against him.
- It will take Halsey's task force at least 48 hours to reach Midway. By that time, Admiral Nagumo, you'll have crushed Midway and be waiting for him.
- You'll have the advantage of position, and at least a two-to-one superiority in carriers, and four to five times the number of screening vessels.
- All of this is based on the assumption that the American fleet will still be guarding the Hawaiian Islands when we make our strike.
- Nimitz is crippled and on the defensive. He must deploy his remaining strength around his most valuable Pacific base.
- I agree with Admiral Nagumo, sir.
- We must make certain where the enemy fleet is.
