Layton, how reliable are these estimates of the Japanese positions?
Edwin Layton:
They represent our best guess based on the intelligence that we have.
Raymond Spruance:
I can't plan around your guess.
Chester W. Nimitz:
[to Layton]
I understand that we're asking the impossible but we need you to be specific.
Edwin Layton:
[sighs, pauses a moment]
The Japanese will attack on the morning of June 4th from the northwest at a bearing of 325 degrees. They will be sighted 175 miles from Midway at 0700 local time.
Chester W. Nimitz:
I trust Layton and his team. Make your plans accordingly.
Chester W. Nimitz:
[later, on the morning of June 4th, after receiving the report the enemy fleet was spotted on a bearing of 320 degrees and 180 miles northwest of Midway and glancing at his watch]
Well, Layton, you and Rochefort were only off five minutes, five miles and five degrees.
Edwin Layton:
Well, we'll endeavor to do better next time, sir.
