		While preparing to launch a third strike, Hiryu was attacked at 17:03 by thirteen dive bombers from Enterprise.

		Japanese carrier doctrine of the time did not specify what to do when suddenly faced with an enemy force within the enemy’s striking range while one’s own armed and fueled aircraft were still in their hangars.
		For instance, carriers such as the late-war Unryu-class (which was a derivative of the original Hiryu design) did indeed have the ability to perform more operations on the flight deck than their predecessors, and by 1944 Japanese doctrine had evolved to view the flight deck in a different light.
		Japanese aircraft were segregated by type and stowed in specific portions of both the upper and lower hangars.

		Soon promoted to Lieutenant (j.g.), Adams was then assigned to aircraft carrier duty, first aboard the USS Saratoga for one month (April-May 1939) and then with the Fifth Bomb Squadron (VB 5) aboard the Yorktown, from May 13, 1939 to the end of his career.
		A fourth, the Hiryu, was left undamaged during the fight.
		On June 6, Adams spotted the Japanese destroyer Tanikaze and went in to attack; his plane disappeared in the clouds and was never seen again, presumed downed by anti-aircraft fire from the destroyer.

	Battle of Midway-Events of 4 June 1942 (afternoon)
		Hiryu's commander, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, was not a man to be deterred by the disaster that had befallen the other three Japanese carriers of the First Carrier Striking Force.
		When the last aircraft landed on the Japanese carrier at 4.30 p.m., Rear Admiral Yamaguchi found that his air group was reduced to six Zero fighters, five dive bombers and five torpedo bombers.
		Fuelled and armed aircraft on the flight deck exploded, and the resulting fires cut off all access to and from the carrier's engine rooms where crew members were trapped.

	Attack on Pearl Harbor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Night operations from aircraft carriers were in their infancy in 1941, and neither the Japanese nor anyone else had developed reliable technique and doctrine.
		The Japanese government had been reluctant to allow the attack at all as it took air cover from the southern thrust, and Nagumo was under strict orders not to risk his command any more than necessary.
		The Japanese records admitted into evidence during the Congressional Hearing show that the Japanese had not even written a declaration of war until after they heard of the successful attack on Pearl Harbor; it would be difficult for them to deliver a document that had not yet been written.

		One of the main Japanese objectives was the three American aircraft carriers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aircraft_carrier) stationed in the Pacific, but these had sortied from Pearl Harbor a few days before the attack and escaped unharmed.
		Japanese intelligence efforts against Pearl Harbor included at least two German Abwehr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abwehr) agents, one of them a sleeper living in Hawaii with his family; he and they were essentially incompetent.
		Many in the Japanese military (both Army and Navy) had disagreed with Yamamoto's idea of attacking the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor when it was first proposed to them in early 1941, and remained reluctant through the Imperial Conferences in September and November which first approved it as policy and then authorized the attack.
