1942 10 26 Santa Cruz Nakajima B5N2 Kate - Mark Postlethwaite
At 1028 hrs on 26 October 1942, during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands,a formation of 16 Nakajima B5N2 ‘Kate’ torpedo-bombers from the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet carrier Zuikaku commenced torpedo runs on the US Navy fleet carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6). Although the ‘Kates’ had split up before starting their attacks, F4F Wildcats from Enterprise managed to down three of thetorpedo-bombers and severely damaged a fourth, causing it to dive into the forecastle of the destroyer USS Smith(DD-378). The ship was set ablaze and 57 sailors were killed as a result, many of them perishing when a delayed detonation from the aircraft’s Type 91torpedo resulted in additional damage being inflicted on the destroyer. Thanks to effective firefighting and damage control Smith, nevertheless, survived Indeed, the ship’s gunners were credited with downing six of the torpedo-bombers that attacked the US Navy task force. The remaining ‘Kates’ launched attacks against Enterprise, the battleship USS South Dakota (BB-57) and the cruiser USS Portland (CA-33). However, no torpedo hits were registered. A total of nine out of the original 16 aircraft were lost during this attack. That same day, two ‘Kates’ from the IJN fleet carrier Shokaku and one from the IJN fleet carrier Junyo scored torpedo hits on USS Hornet (CV-8), leaving it immobilised and listless in the water. Hornet was subsequently abandoned and sunk by torpedoes launched from two Japanese destroyers on 27 October 1942
