THIS GIANT JAPANESE WEAPON Almost Destroyed the US Navy
Shōkaku’s reinforced flight deck trembles under the thunderous roar of her lethal air wing as it surges into the skies on May 8, 1942, over the Coral Sea. At dawn, her state-of-the-art Type 21 air-search radar had pinpointed the American fleet, securing the critical advantage of the first strike. Now, her advanced flight deck, capable of simultaneous takeoffs and landings, becomes the stage for relentless waves of aircraft launching into battle. The air reverberates with the deafening roar of over 80 planes taking flight.
A formidable swarm of Zeros, Aichi dive bombers, and Nakajima torpedo bombers hurtles toward USS Lexington the moment she emerges on the horizon. As Shōkaku’s strike force races to its target, Lexington scrambles her aircraft in a desperate bid to mount a defense. But Shōkaku’s aircraft, already closing in, give her no quarter.
