Wed Nite Snapshot - Torpedo 8!
« on: September 03, 2002, 07:04:52 PM »
More Early Pacific action this week.  This takes a small section of the Battle of Midway for the recreation.  VT-8 from the USS Hornet attacked the Japanese carrier group (along with VT-3, and VT-6) and was annihilated by the Japanese fighter cover.  In their destruction, the fighter cover was all brought low, which allowed VB-6, VS-6 and VB-3 to land hits on the Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu.

In our Snapshot, the TBFs of of VT-8 will make a run on part of the Japanese fleet and will be escorted by the Hornet's Wildcats of VF-8.

More information here!

Hope to see you there!
