INTRODUCTION
A
Zuikaku
D3A1 “Val” dive-bomber that was hit by antiaircraft fire is seen here
moments before it crashed into USS
Hornet
(CV-8) in a jibaku strike during the battle
of Santa Cruz. A
Shokaku
B5N “Kate” can also be seen flying over the doomed
carrier, having just launched its torpedo at
Hornet.
Two B5N2s from
Shokaku
and
one from
Junyo
scored torpedo hits on CV-8, leaving it immobilized and listless in the
water.
Hornet
was subsequently abandoned and sunk by torpedoes launched from
two Japanese destroyers on October 27, 1942. This photograph was taken from the
heavy cruiser USS
Pensacola
(CA-24). (Naval
