| Description |
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) burning as the result of a Japanese kamikaze attack on 25 November 1944. Antiaircraft fire had exploded the plane some 90 m above the ship, but a section of its fuselage landed amidships, and a part of the wing hit the flight deck and burst into flames. Prompt and skillful damage control quickly extinguished the blaze and prevented serious damage. Note, although not identified in the description, the only long hull Essex-class carrier of Cabots TG 38.2 hit on 25 November 1944 was Hancock. The only other carriers hit on that day were Cabot, Essex and Intrepid. |
