Japanese multi-carrier strikes depended on trained crews

Did assembling one strike from several Japanese carriers cause problems at Midway?

The method was workable with experienced crews, but combat losses and weak retention of institutional knowledge made it increasingly difficult.

Multiple carriers can launch simultaneously and assemble a powerful combined formation. Coordinating aircraft from several decks introduces delay and complexity, but trained crews can manage it. The doctrine therefore depended heavily on veteran personnel and repeated practice. Losses around Coral Sea and Midway exposed a system that could not retain or replace its operational experience.
