nimitz wasn't on any naval vessel. he was in sick bay with a highly itching skin rash.
actually this is incorrect, it is true that Nimitz was not present, he was in Pearl Harbor. however he was not the one with dermatitis, Bull Halsey was the one down with the rash, Raymond Spruance actually took temporay command of Halsey's carrier group for him during the Midway campaign

Who was the most important person in the Battle of Midway?
There cannot be "one" most important single individual during a battle, a battle is only as strong as it's weakest link...in many cases. For example; the most important men during the battle were the pilots, for it was them that guided the torpedos and bombs to target. It was the ship's crew, for it was them that carried the airmen to striking range. It was the commander's, for it was them that made the right decisions (if they won). By military tradition, which inherently avoids argument; the commanders (Nimitz & Yamamoto) were the most important men at Midway. And since victory belonged to Nimitz, he was the most important man of Midway. However, there is one little "unknown" to many readers about Midway...that might make Spruance, in the end, the most important man of Midway. For it was Spruance, who could have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Midway...but he didn't, and because he made the right decision at the right time, he made Midway the great victory that it was. When the IJN carriers were destroyed, Spruance was faced with the decision to pursue the remains of Yamamoto's fleet, which had been trailing the carriers a few hundred miles back. Yamamoto had five battlewagons with him, one of which, his flagship, was the Yamato with nine 18 inch rifles. Admiral Yamamoto would have loved a surface engagement, had Spruance pursued...such an engagement would've softened the defeat of Midway. Spruance's surface fleet would've been utterly annihilated had it engaged the Yamato and the remaining battleships. Midway would've become a shallow victory.
