OREGON, tttfstuY. 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."
