I think I've read that article. It's possible he was covering his own behind but more likely I think Mitscher was probably protecting his squadron commanders, particularly Waldron, from being court-martialed for mutiny and sullying what had been a massive victory. At least that seems to be the conclusion here: www.usni.org/magazines/navalhistory/2012-05/mitscher-and-mystery-midway
