On the morning of 8
May, both sides spotted each other about the same time and
began launching their aircraft about 09:00. The Japanese
carriers launched a total of 18 Zeros, 33 D3As and 18 B5Ns.
Yorktown was the first American carrier to launch her
aircraft and Lexington began launching hers seven
minutes later. These totaled 9 Wildcats, 15 Dauntlesses and
12 Devastators.
The Japanese aircraft
spotted the American carriers around 11:05 and the B5Ns
attacked first because the D3As had to circle around to
approach the carriers from upwind. American aircraft shot
down four of the torpedo bombers before they could drop
their torpedoes, but 10 survived long enough to hit
Lexington twice on the port side at 11:20. The Japanese
had shot down three of Lexington's
Wildcats and five Dauntlesses, plus another Dauntless
crashed on landing. At 12:43, the ship launched five
Wildcats to replace the CAP and prepared to launch another
nine Dauntlesses. A massive explosion at 12:47 was triggered
by sparks that ignited gasoline vapors from the cracked port
avgas tanks. The explosion killed 25 crewmen and knocked out
the main
damage control station. |
