The Bombing raid on Tokyo originally was thought by an elite captain, who command a U.S submarine in Pacific, then the idea was handed over to the U.S president. It is a suicidal raid so there were not possibilities of returining to the carriers for all the pilots in that raid. Apprently, it is a raid but it aim the Japanese politics, after the raid the Japanese government realised they were not safe if the U.S aircraft carrier fleet still existed. So they order the Imperial Japanese Navy either to occupy Midway or destroy the U.S aircraft carrier fleet in the Pacific.
