Oh, and on the US side they only had three carriers (one of which, the Yorktown, was already badly damaged). Which were basically all the carriers the US had in the pacific at that time. For all the importance of carriers at Midway they simply didn't have that many...they hadn't started mass-producing those Essex-class carriers yet.
