Battle 360 – SE01 EP04 – Bloody Santa Cruz

Bloody Santa Cruz

The Japanese Guadalcanal invasion fleet engages Task Force 61 spearheaded by the Enterprise and Hornet. For the American forces it is a defensive battle as wave after wave of Japanese planes bombard the American carriers and eventually destroy the Hornet. But the attack decimates Japan’s dwindling core of experienced pilots and two American dive bombers manage to find and destroy a Japanese aircraft carrier.
