JANUARY 12, 1943 CARRIER HORNET WAS VICTIM OF TORPEDO PLANES Navy Discloses American Flat Top Unable to Dodge Attack after Power Lost San Diego, Cal., Jan. 12 U.B Japanese torpedo planet disabled the aircraft carrier Hornet In the battle of Santa Cruz and left It a stationary target unable to dodge another wave of attacking planea five hours later, surviv ors of the carrier said today. The navy disclosed at Wash- Ington -last night that the Hor net was the carrier sunk in the south Pacific battle Oct. 28. The sinking had been announced previously but the craft was not Identified. Survivors said that the first wave of Japanese planes at tacked the carrier about 10 a. m. Although most of the attackers were shot to pieces In the air, the planes Ignored escorting ves sels and concentrated on the ear lier. A few penetrated to land crippling blows. Many Attack "There must have been 60 to 80 Jap planes in the first group which attacked the ship," said Aviation Machinist's Mate Russel Plybon, 23, of Centralis, Mo. "There were fightlrs, dive bomb ers and torpedo planes. "A few of them scored hits on the Hornet but not many of them escaped our guns. Those which did get away probably were un able to land because our planes helped sink one Jap carrier and severely damaged another." Plybon said two dive bomb ers scored direct hits and that torpedo planes sent three torpe does Into the Hornet. Tha first topedo hit the en gine room and left the Hornet dead In the water, making It stationary target," he said. "Dur ing the attack, three enemy planes made suicide dives onto the ship as they were being shot down. Our escort ships were Ig nored as the Japs tried for a knockout blow. Ship Dead In Be Lieut James O. Kelsey of Wa terbury, Conn., an engineering officer, said he believed the ship might have been saved If the main afternoon attack had come few minutes later than it did "I believe the second bom- bardment, about five hours after the Initial attack, cost us the ship," Kelsey said. "If those planes would have come in few minutes later we would nave had our power working, again. During the first attack, the Japs succeeded In putting the electrical power system out fit commission and the ship was oeaa in me water." Kelsey said the crew members kept working below decks to repair the damage despite the explosions overhead, i "It was nerve-racking because we couia not see the olanes and never knew when one might hit us. we were tossed about several tunes, but everyone recovered nd went right back to work."
