العربية: حاملة الطائرات يو إس إس ساراتوغا بعد تعرضها لهجوم من الكاميكازي والذي أدى أيضاً لمقتل 123 من طاقمها، 21 فبراير 1945
The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3) burning after five "Kamikaze" suicide planes hit the forward flight deck off Chi-chi Jima, shortly after 17:00h, 21 February 1945. Another attack at 19:00h scored an additional bomb hit. 123 of her crew were dead or missing as a result of the attacks. By 20:15h, the fires were under control, and the carrier was able to recover aircraft, but she was ordered to Eniwetok and then to the U.S. West Coast for repairs, arriving at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington (USA), on 16 March. On 22 May, Saratoga departed Puget Sound fully repaired, and she resumed training pilots at Pearl Harbor on 3 June. |
