Wednesday April 6th, 2010 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II - "Last Day at Lexington". Hosted by 68Baltar
As the Sun rose on May 8th many pilots aboard Task Force 17 especially the Lexington did not know what the days events would later entail upon them. As they had the previous day, The Air groups of the Lexington and the Yorktown were going to launch again. On the 7th they sunk the light carrier Shoho but this time they would launch against Shokaku and Zuikaku. The Japanese pilots, mostly Pearl Harbor Veterans would launch a sixty-nine plane strike force to attack TF 17. Lexington Air Group was spread through the clouds the Japanese fleet had used as protection. The SBD's from the "Lady Lex" managed to get some bombs onto the Shokaku but she would survive. The Lexington on the other hand, would not. The Japanese battled through the American defenses in a dogfight covering miles of ocean. Four Wildcats and five SBD's were lost in the defense of Lexington. Naval airmen and shipboard gunners accounted for 19 of the Japanese attackers. The attack damaged the Yorktown and aerial torpedoes mortally wounded Lexington and she sank later that evening taking 33 aircraft to the bottom with her. In this event we will be recreating the defense of
Task Force 17.
