Will Akagi sink? Will Operation MI be a bust? Are the kanmusu, despite their engines and artillery, merely sailboats carried to their end by the wind called Fate?
Also, why is someone bringing a mysterious set of mission orders in battle?

Exactly. All of this makes the show a bit more suspenseful, which makes it more fun and interesting, in my opinion.
Granted, I get the impression that most of us here expect a happy ending, but at least there's a tiny bit of doubt or uncertain speculation to how everything will turn out. If Kisaragi had never been sunk, and if the show hadn't been as serious as it is (at times), the plot would probably feel more predictable and less suspenseful.
