Only thing to say, what a cliffhanger.

Spoiler for Episode 11:

- Was that Hoppō? Couldn't resist including her, despite her being misplaced at MI.

- A delay occured with the seperate fleets meeting? Anyway, Akagi sent Kongō and Buki to wait and proceeded forward with the others. Kidō Butai got hit by a that lovely Wo while they were preoccupied with Hoppō.

- Akagi can't launch planes anymore, same for Kaga I think.

- Tough scene with Kitakami. She and Ōi got into different fleets. While under pressure she calls for Ōi-cchi, realises that she's not there, goes "heh" and gets hit (?)

No, actually, it was Hikoujouki, aka Henderson field.
I think she makes even less sense since she is part of Iron Bottom Sound...

*Edit: After watching again the raw, to be honest, I really don't know anymore if you meant the "other princess". The figure "on" Wo kai "looks" like Hoppou, but she looks... way bigger in term of certain proportions so it might be Hikoujouki prior being visible. *scratches head*

Anyway, as I thought, it was more like a setup than really the "first part" of the fight. I really think it would have been better if episode 10 was just the doolittle raid + Midway preparations, so episode 11 would focus on Midway while episode 12 wouldn't be cluttered.
As far as it goes, they will have to deal with the second half of the fight, exposing what is the actual deal of Operation FS and its benefits and the losses + epilogue.

I don't remember if they confirmed 12 episodes, but I hope there are 13 episodes, otherwise it will be quite awkward.

I also think she makes less sense since she is supposed to be at Iron Bottom Sound... (Yes, I did read up about Hikoujouki's at wikia and wikiwiki.) until I go and read it up and found out that there is another Henderson Field at Midway. Guess the studio did their work on history.

[SaintessHeart]

That isn't Hoppo. It is a monster.

Hoppo is a loli.

[The Green One]

Geez Akagi, all that trouble to get Fubuki ready to be your guard and......you leave her behind. Gotta have that cliffhanger somehow I suppose. Things are looking grim.

[IceHism]

Looks like Kaga and Akagi got taiha'ed

oh man, i was looking forward to things being grim but i think it's gonna be very happy from now on.

12+1 bonus?

Kind of reminds me of Akira Kurosawa's 7 Samurai where the comic relief of the party was killed in battle. Deft execution but the show goes on.

[Verisimilitude]

Who's that kanmusu standing on the cliff at Truk? I've heard a bunch of people saying its Taihou.

[blitz1/2]

Wasn't it supposed to be Midway Hime?

Oh and Teitoku better get his internet connection back on, because the ship girls are going mobile doll mode and it's not looking so good. xD

The one with the parasol? Yamato of course.

EDIT: Just going through the subbed version, right, missed that one during the raws, the one after the Yamato launching sequence. Could be her, although the hair is a bit too short.

12 according to MX channel
http://www.mxtv.co.jp/bangumi/
Check March 25 and you will find out Kancolle episode 12 with "終"(the end)

Though maybe they already planned split cour, who knows.

[Klashikari]

Actually, there is someone else who is standing there without saying anything. I thought it was Mutsuki first, but it doesn't make much sense due to the context and the hair color + the lack of curly hair.

Considering the "collar" and the brown front bangs, I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually Taihou, although it is pretty... bad to introduce another kanmusu at the VERY LAST episode.

[cloud04]

admiral went into hidden coz he had to craft taihou at the last min?

[CGrascal]

Taihou? If they keep what happened to her, it'll be like introducing her and have her sink one minute in after her official entrance into the fight.

[Kakurin]

Yeah, it's Taihō:
