Lt. Comm. Rochefort: Admiral, we've already achieved a great victory. Shouldn't you call the carriers back to Pearl and out of harm's way?

Admiral NIMITZ wanted that 4th Japanese Carrier at Midway during the very week that my loving mother was getting ready to give me birth in California, Japan’s next target.
Thank you Admiral NIMITZ.
