• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

LZ at Truk ( Febuary 17,1944 ) of the 5 Fleet Carriers only Bunker Hill had the Helldiver.

Same was true at Rabaul ( November 11,1943 ) only Bunker Hill had Helldivers.Bunker Hill also had 24 Corsairs along with 24 Hellcats.

By the time of the Battle of the Philippine Sea only Enterprise and Lexington still had the Dauntless.They were replaced by Helldivers soon after.

On Febuary 18,1944 the USN attacked the fuel storage.This was done the second day because the smoke and fires would have interfered with ship attacks the first day.
