This is an informative article, but Parshall's comment about it being the beginning of a Japanese campaign to hide or disguise bad news is a bit ironic.

For three months after the battle, the US's official description of the damage incurred to Yorktown was simply that the ship had suffered "heavy damage".

It was not until September 1942 that she was reported sunk in the battle.
