How many ships did the Japanese use at The Battle of Midway?

If one excludes the forces used for the "Aleutian Feint" (which, historians are now seeing as not a feint, but a separate, coordinated attack), the Japanese forces at Midway consisted of:Main Force - this was the invasion force intended to occupy and hold the island of Midway itself. It consisted of 5 battleships, 2 light carriers, and about 40 transport and light screening forces (light cruisers and destroyers).Strike Force - this was the main offensive group, built around the fleet carriers, whose purpose was to cripple Midway's air strength, and then locate and sink any US carriers which it could locate. The Strike Force consisted of 4 heavy carriers, 2 battleships, and 15 escorts (cruisers and destroyers).In addition, there were about a half-dozen or so submarines acting as scouts for the Japanese forces.So, all told, that would be approximately 75 ships of all sorts used by the Japanese.
