Curiously the Japanese Navy War Gamed their attack on Midway in a similar fashion, and the "USA" team placed their carriers exactly where Nimitiz did a few weeks later, and sank the Japanese fleet. The top brass then "re floated" and announced the US Navy must sail from Pearl and so be ambushed, as per plan. So, yeah, risk management is everything
