English: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-18) burnes after being hit by a Japanese 250kg bomb off Japan on 19 March 1945. The bomb penetrated the flight deck and the armor-plated hangar deck, and exploded in the crew's galley. Many of her shipmates were having breakfast after being at general quarters all night. The blast disabled the number-four fire room. Around 102 crewmen were lost. Despite the losses, Wasp continued operations with the Task Group and the air group was carrying out flight operations 27 minutes after the damage. |
