I'm thinking what's going on. Turns out it was more likely the Doolittle raid ships returning to PH. I thought cool. Never happened to me before.

I was worried that since it was dark and I was running on the surface, 1) I was going to collide with the DD coming up behind or 2) get sunk by friendly fire.

Nope. Neither. I end up running into a torpedo net 10 miles west of Midway Island.

Could be TF returning from Doolittle Raid, should be two CV (Hornet and Enterprise), but dark pre radar or if in early 42, could be Enterprise returning from strikes on Marcus Island in March 1942 as those fleet movements are present.

Date? 730 NM NNW Midway?
