Now I agree that the base may be a little crowded for normal operations, but I am sure that it saw its share of ships during the war.
It was not a fleet Anchorage. Used for refueling subs, and other small ships. Never would a task force dock there. It was a small island, and to show it with facilities that rival Mare Island is not right. And lighthouses to boot. No way. Just a little reading should have been done. Also, plenty of pictures of Midway are available.
Still its an enjoyable sim, and just that.
