The torpedo hits were followed by
three more bomb hits and another
suicide plane crash which started
more fires. OF a attacking aircraft,
20 were shot down by antiaircraft
fire, but the attack, which lasted II
minutes, left the Hornet dead in the
water with many fires on board and
with a decided list. Our wounded
personnel were promptly removed
by destroyers, the fires were ex-
tinguished in about a half hour, and
the Hornet was taken In tow by
the Northampton, but in the after
noon she was again attacked by
torpedoes and dive bombers and had
to be abandoned and sunk by our
own forces.
Just before noon the Enterprise
was subjected to an attack by "a
enemy dive bombers, Of which seven
were shot down by antiaircraft fire
in which the South Dekota partici-
pated. Shortly after, she weathered
two attacks by torpedo planes and
one more attack from dive bombers.
Catch Wounded.
The first dive bombing attack re-
suited in three hits on the Enter
prise. OF the torpedo planes making
the first attack, one dived on to the
destroyer Smith setting her on fire
forward and exploding the planes
torpedo. BY energetic measures,
however, the Smith brought the
flames under control and was able to
make port. During this action dive
bombers scored hit on the South
Dakota, wounding her commanding
officer, Capt. (now Rear AdmiraD T.
l.. Catch, and inflicted considerable
damage on the light cruiser San
Juan.
There were no further attacks and
the two task forces were ordered to
retire independently. During the
night they were pursued by Japa-
nese surface units, which turned
back when it became clear that the
enemy attacks were not succeeding.
Enemy planes estimated to have
taken part in the attacks on the
Hornet and Enterprise numbered
between ITO and 180. OF that num-
Der 56 were shot down by antiair-
craft fire and about the same num-
Der by our own planes. Our own
losses were the Hornet, the destroyer
Porter, which was torpedoed while
rescuing personnel of one of our
planes, and IA aircraft. We sank no
enemys vessels in the engagement,
and our carrier strength in the Pa
cific was now dangerously low, but
there were partial compensations.
Two enemy carriers had been put
out Of action and four Japa1ese air
groups had been cut to pieces.
ITO be continued Sunday
