Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6) underway during the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, 24 August 1942. In four minutes, Enterprise received three hits. This shows the hit at about 1645hrs, when a bomb hit the flightdeck aft. The resulting detonation ignited a large secondary explosion from one of the nearby 127 mm guns' ready powder casings, killing 35 members of the nearby gun crews and starting a large fire. The photo was taken from the heavy cruiser USS Portland (CA-33). |
