How many Americans ran out of fuel in the Battle of Midway?
Of interest is that the 3 USN carriers at Midway were of the same class: The Yorktown class. The USS Enterprise, USS Hornet, and the USS Yorktown were designed to operate about 90 aircraft. Since Yorktown's flight deck was damaged during the fight, and radar indicated more IJN aircraft enroute to target (Yorktown), Yorktown launched her remaining flyable airplanes for the interception...most of which were short on fuel. USN losses during the Midway campaign was approximately 150 airplanes. With about 100 being destroyed in the torpedo and dive bombing attacks, plus the fighter interception dog-fights...both for attacking the IJN carriers and defending the Yorktown against attackers. Explosions on the sinking Yorktown accounted for some destroyed airplanes, but some, possibly about 20 were launched for an interception. An estimation of around 25 USN aircraft may have been lost to empty fuel tanks during the battle.

Robert Ballard, known for discovering the wreck of the Titanic, located the USS Yorktown CV-10 in 1998. The USS Yorktown CV-5, on the other hand, was found in 1998 by a different expedition led by the research vessel Petrel. Both aircraft carriers played significant roles in World War II, but Ballard's work specifically focused on the later ship, CV-10.
