Thanks for the daily work you do posting this series.

Do we know if the Japanese knew the Yorktown had been sunk?

And it’s refreshing to see an Abercrombie and Fitch ad without any metrosexuals in it.

Good question. The Japanese thought they sank her at Coral Sea. They had a lot on their plate at Midway. They might not have had time to figure out which ships on our side got sunk. If any of their subs had hung around after the battle they probably knew a carrier had gone down, but maybe not which carrier.
