Subject: RE: BS: CV6
Little Hawk what the american public doesn't know but the entire Pacific Naval battles fought the Enterprise was in 21 of them out of 22 and the only one she missed was when she escorted the USS Hornet with Doolittle and his B-25 bomber squadron on it bombing raid on Tokio in April 1942 a very risky mission with a bunch of very dedicated USS Army Air Corp pilots whish even today I give a silent salute for their bravery and on that day when I saw them launched I said a farwell prayer for I'd bet the farm none of them would survive
