USN dive bombers caught the IJN carriers with their decks full of re-arming/re-fuelling strike aircraft (strike aircraft=torpedo/dive bombers).
Had not that event occurred, the more combat experienced IJN carrier men would have more than likely located/sunk the USN carriers instead.
It was, as explained by one author, a "Miracle at Midway."
