Stayed up waaaaaaay too late -yet again in life- last nite, watching the new
remake Midway movie (~33% finished, getting better to its cred')...
...and the NEW Indy Neidell part I of a III-part Midway special!

(Indy Neidell=v-e-r-y very good, sharp, entertaining, savvy).
(and BONUS points for a roll-top desk are a gar-ron-damn-teed).

Tho'... Indy hit a few things in part I that I'd never Midway heard...
(and I'ma 10-15 specials/docs and at least 7-10 Midway books into studying this...)

why-o-why did Japan have; freakin', 38 Admirals @Midway?!?
LOL! I mean, yah; one per their anti-Mahanian splintered task-forcing groups?

Okay. "Hi" (Jap' yes); in particular if you have specialty Admirals in tow... 1 amphib',
1 bombardment, 1 surface-combat, 1 carrier/fight op's, 1 supply/refueling, then one (Yamamoto) overall.

Alrighty. I get a handful of brass, maybe even 5-10 give/take...

Too many chefs spoil the saki-laced gumbo tho'... and 38?
why? 'cause 37 Admirals was just not enuff?!?
----------------------------------------
Additionally, Whiskey Tango Helen kinda "tanks" did we get over to Midway?
I've never heard or seen of this. Can not Order of Battle find this, either?
Anyone know the score here?
(most curious for this...)
