@hashteraksgage3281 The Japanese carriers would be in range of the British armored carrier torpedo planes at night. A couple of Japanese carriers sunk during the night may make them turn back immediately. At night the Japanese are blind while the British can see. The IJN could not loiter for long in the Indian Ocean as they only had limited fuel.

@MrNicoJac The UK fleet never lost in the Indian Ocean. The two fleets never met to lose to each other. the only time British forces met the IJN fleet in combat was when the shore based Blenheims just missed an IJN carrier . The Blenheims were not a part of the fleet. The only RN ships sunk were sailing independently to be readied for the Madagascar raid caught in the open.
