	Chuichi Nagumo
		Chuichi Nagumo (1886 - July 6, 1944) was an admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy, successful commander of the attack on Pearl Harbor and loser at the Battle of Midway.
		While commanding this force, Nagumo executed the brilliant attack on Pearl Harbor, and fought brilliantly in the 1942 campaigns in the Pacific Theatre.
		After this, he was criticized, placed in command of naval forces in the Marianas, and in the final stages of the US capture of Saipan, committed suicide rather than surrender.

	Chuichi Nagumo at AllExperts
		Chuichi Nagumo (å—é² å¿ ä¸, Nagumo ChÅ«ichi, March 25, 1887–July 6, 1944) was a Japanese Vice Admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) of Imperial Japan under Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during World War II.
		Chuichi Nagumo was born in Yamagato, Honshu, Japan in 1887.
		Although Nagumo had plenty of critics in the navy, his seniority landed him the job of the commander of the mobile fleet that had been tagged for the task of attacking Pearl Harbor.

		Chuichi Nagumo (Japanese: 南雲忠一, Nagumo Chūichi, March 25, 1887–July 6, 1944) was a Vice Admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy and Commander of the 1st Air Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy for a while.
		As the war started to rage in Europe, Nagumo, at the time the head of the Naval War College in Tokyo, was promoted to the rank of vice admiral in preparation for Japan's entry into the global conflict.
		Despite the successful raid, Nagumo was largely criticized for his failure to launch the third wave of attack against Pearl Harbor, which might had destroyed the repair stations which would have rendered the greatest American naval base in the Pacific useless.

		Nagumo was commander of the Japanese carrier striking force that attacked Pearl Harbor and roamed throughout the southwestern Pacific and Indian Oceans in the first six months of 1942.
		Nagumo was seen as a man of action rather than introspection, happier at sea in command than in a staff job ashore.
		Nagumo remained in command of the surviving Japanese carriers in battles for the Solomon Islands.

		Nagumo justified his decision on grounds that the first-wave commander had notified him by radio at 0700 that Midway had not yet been neutralized and that a second strike was needed.
		At 0830, Nagumo was faced with a second fateful decision: whether to launch immediately an attack against the American carrier force with the aircraft then ready or to postpone his attack until after the Midway strike force had been landed and his second-wave torpedo planes had been rearmed with torpedoes.
		Nagumo believed that the American carrier force was too far away at 0728 to be able to launch an escorted attack against him at that time because he reckoned that the Wildcat’s combat radius was less than two hundred miles.

	Vice Admiral Nagumo faces difficult decisions
		Although Nagumo intended to launch the bombers in his hangers in a second strike at Midway as soon as possible, there was a major impediment to those bombers being lifted to the flight decks and prepared for launching at Midway or anywhere else.
		Nagumo needed time to recover these aircraft, and that was impossible while the Japanese carriers were manoeuvring wildly to avoid American air attacks.
		Nagumo and his staff officers were off balance and unsure of the direction from which the next attack might come.

	The Principle of the Objective
		Nagumo was not well grounded in air-sea operations, but since he was the senior officer in the Navy he became, ironically, the commander of the largest and finest air-sea attack force in history up to that time.
		Nagumo and his staff concluded that there were no enemy forces in the area and sent out a minimum of search aircraft, all slow cruiser-launched floatplanes.
		Nagumo rationalized that it would be easier to destroy the enemy if all his striking power could be concentrated into one massive attack, so he made the fateful, decisive mistake to delay launching until the Midway strike could be landed and refueled.

		The principal striking force would be Chuichi Nagumo's First Air Fleet (the Pearl Harbor Strike Force), down to four fleet carriers (due to losses at Coral Sea), plus two fast battleships, two heavy cruisers, a light cruiser, and a dozen destroyers.
		Nagumo dithered for another fifteen minutes, then ordered the rearmament reversed, so that the 93 aircraft could be dispatched to attack these American vessels.
		Nagumo ordered a course change at 0905, just as the last of the Midway strike planes were returning.

	Battle of Midway
		When the Japanese aircraft returned to their carriers, Admiral Chuichi Nagumo decided to re-arm them with bombs for a second strike at Midway.
		Nagumo eventually decided to change the arms load for an attack against the American ships.
		With torpedoes and bombs stacked, and fuel hoses snaking across their decks, the Japanese carriers made vulnerable and highly volatile targets.

		Nagumo was nowhere near ready to launch by 1025; in fact, he had probably barely begun preparations to do so.
		Considering this, Nagumo probably thought he was playing it safe—keeping the strike aircraft in the hangars until the worst of the danger was past, keeping the flight decks clear to support constant CAP operations, and repelling American attacks with the best weapon available, his fighters.
		Nagumo clearly appreciated the danger in which he would place his ships during deck spotting of strike force aircraft, in that it created a window of time during which no additional CAP could be cycled.

		The basic plan was to use a small force as a distraction and sail it close to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, supposedly drawing the carriers to the biggest threat to the United States.
		Nagumo was ready to launch when he received the message from the Tone’s late search plane.

	Japanese Naval Officers
		Gruff, conservative, not overly-imaginative, and at his core profoundly suspicious of the potency of carrier-based airpower, Nagumo was (ironically enough) placed in charge of the most powerful naval air armada of the first half of the war: Kido Butai, Japan's carrier strike force.
		The result; a spectacular, but somewhat superficial victory in Hawaii, wherein the US heavy surface units were largely destroyed or disabled, but our escort vessels and (much more important) our oil tanks farms and repair facilities escaped practically untouched (despite the urging of his staff officers to launch a second attack and destroy them).
		After Pearl Harbor, Nagumo commanded Kido Butai through its subsequent six-month long reign of terror, during which it roamed the Pacific with seeming invincibility, until it was finally dismembered at the Battle of Midway.

	WW2DB: Chuichi Nagumo
		Back to Nagumo, I dont think it was unreasonable for him to beat a quick retreat after inflicting massive damage on the American fleet and getting away unscathed - a prudent move given the unknown whereabouts of the American carriers.
		Comment by Schubert Chris on 7 Sep 2005-06:28:46 AM Indeed I think Admiral Nagumo had a very blured vision of how an attack plan against the US should look.Not only the benefits,for his own country, of such an attack were unclear,but also the decisions to go and fight out to Pearl Harbor,made by the jap.
		*Nagumos carriers unexpectedly changed course, and yet planes from the Yorktown and Enterprise both found the Japanese carriers, within minutes of eachother, from two different directions, sinking three of the four carriers.

		On this day in 1942, Japanese Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, commander of the fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor, launches a raid on Midway Island with almost the entirety of the Japanese navy.
		The American naval forces were depleted: The damaged carrier Yorktown had to be repaired in a mere three days, to be used along with the Enterprise and Hornet, all that was left in the way of aircraft carriers after the bombing at Pearl Harbor.
		He also miscalculated tactically by ordering a second wave of bombers to finish off what he thought was only a remnant of American resistance (the U.S. forces had been able to conceal their position because of reconnaissance that anticipated the Midway strike) before his first wave had sufficient opportunity to rearm.
