Enemy A/C south of Midway OR tale of 48 single engine planes 2000 miles from a base

Sorry not buying the CV thing as that is speculation - these A/C encounters existed at various times well into July 1945 - so the thought if the IJN with a carrier is nonsense. A bug makes a lot if sense - particularly if you are slow to dive and are spotted - the amount of A/C encounters goes up dramatically after that. Regarding the sound issue. I will say that WWII Technology could not exploit the sound of a CV or any other noise source at a significant range. However fact is that sound travels trans oceanic ranges under proper conditions (deep water and a a positive or a negative Sound Speed Profile). So it is feasible to detect a carrier or merchant in excess of 300 nm (600K yards)
