- If we launch immediately, do our pilots have enough fuel to make the attack and return?
- Yes, sir. If this weather holds, if their navigation is perfect, and if they don't take too much time over the target.

Quote context

[...]

- You're forgetting Scout Number 4 was a half-hour late taking off. It will not reach it's maximum search range for another hour yet.

- Tomonaga's planes will be returning soon. When they recover, they can be quickly refueled and rearmed for sea action, in case our scouts sight any enemy ships.

- Very well. Order our torpedo bombers to be rearmed with contact bombs. As soon as they're ready, we'll launch a second strike against Midway.

- Yes, sir.

- Fifty-seven planes on the line, sir. The Hornet will probably launch about the same number.

- What's the position of the enemy carriers?

- 135 miles, sir.

- If we launch immediately, do our pilots have enough fuel to make the attack and return?

- Yes, sir. If this weather holds, if their navigation is perfect, and if they don't take too much time over the target.

- If we launch now, we just might catch Nagumo, like a sitting duck. But if we take time to move in close, that'll give him time to refuel and reload.

- Sir, that PBY reported only two carriers.

- I know.

- Intelligence says he has four on his strike force. Those other two suddenly pop up out of nowhere...

- Then we'd be sitting ducks.

- But there are two certain targets 135 miles from here that don't expect us.

- Let's get Enterprise and Hornet turned into the wind.

- Yes, sir.
