A question about hps-midway

[Maarten]

is that keeping you ship going in the direction for your planes to take off, can result in your carrier sailing too far away from the enemy, thereby making it longer for your own strike to reach him and thereby running out of time before the battle ends.

So i need to send the carriers in the same direction mine planes are going to the target becausse of fuel of the planes?
Could you explain it mine English is not good.
