Fletcher was a subordinate of CINCPAC Vice Admiral William Pye, and he was ordered to waita Admiral Brown and using the time in refuelling the destroyers of his Task Force 14.
Morison attacked him for this, but later he retrieve his words and wrote that he was wrong, and that FLetcher was ordered to wait Admiral Wilson Brown and refuelling.

It wasn't Fletcher's fault, he was ordered to wait for Lexington.
