The Yanks knew that convoy was at sea and where it was going thanks to the code breakers. Even more so was the meeting at Midway. I think it was the Yorktown sailed from Pearl without repairs from Coral Sea being completed. They sailed with the civilian boilermakers etc still on board. The Yorktown didn't survive the battle and one must assume many of the shipwrights didn't either.

Once the smoke cleared from Midway, the Yanks only had two fleet carriers. 1942 was a desperate year.
