Rich sent me the save files, and while he may answer directly, I can post the short version here as well.

What you're running into is the fact that Strikes need a target. If you're trying to set up a strike without spotting the enemy, you'll need to place a location marker and then set that as the Strike Target. You can change the Strike Target when your scouts have found an enemy.

Also, in the Midway scenario, you'll need to slow the Saratoga down a bit. You can't launch/land aircraft when the combined speed+windspeed> 50kts. Right now, it's 52.5. Slow the Saratoga down to 50 or lower.
