Summary
[edit]_and_Astoria_(CA-34)_at_Midway_1942.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Scene on board the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) during the Battle of Midway, shortly after she was hit by three Japanese bombs on 4 June 1942. Dense smoke is from fires in her uptakes, caused by a bomb that punctured them and knocked out her boilers. A man with hammer at right is probably covering a bomb entry hole in the forward elevator. Note arresting gear cables and forward palisade elements on the flight deck; CXAM radar antenna, large national ensign and YE homing beacon antenna atop the foremast; 12.7 cm/38, 12.7 mm caliber and 28 mm guns manned and ready at left. The heavy cruiser USS Astoria (CA-34) is visible on the left. |
