Good find...
However, if you are "really" interested in all the carrier battles of WWII or every battle (land & sea) of the pacific war against the japanese empire, here is a comprehensive link:

Pearl Harbor & Beyond: Conquest of the Japanese Empire

You will find about a dozen with differing views of the battle at Midway...

However, it was the many huge naval battles associated with Guadalcanal that gives the most comprehensive and interesting history of the early stages of WWII pacific theatre when the U.S. was hanging on by its fingernails...

There are dozens of videos of those naval battles... Some were the largest naval battles in world history...

This collection of more than 600 Pacific Theatre videos contains much film of Japanese origin as well...

Hanging by it’s fingers is sort of accurate. But not quite. The USN’s problems in late 1942 were primarily an equipment shortage, not enough carriers, not enough tankers.

Then in 1943 the Essex carrier Pez Dispenser opened up...

No matter what happened in 1942, the USN was going to hit the Japanese Empire with overwhelming force in 1943 - 1944.
