Torpeda i benzyna vs. Hiyō – niezwykłe zatopienie japońskiego lotniskowca

One plane, one torpedo, one hit – and the aircraft carrier Hiyō went down. Impossible? And yet true. It was done by an American Avenger taking off from the aircraft carrier USS Belleau Wood. The cause of the disaster was an explosive mixture: torpedo, gasoline, unfortunate coincidence, and poor decisions by officers. All of this led to the sinking of one of the Japanese aircraft carriers during World War II. - - - - - - - - - Do you like my shows?

This is a story about the courage of the pilots, the mistakes of the command, and the fate of the units that determined the course of the Pacific War. 🎯 Hashtags: #HiyoCarrier #WorldWarII #BattleOfThePacific #Warships #NipponKaigun #AircraftCarrier #NavalHistory #MilitaryHistory #Hiyo #WWIIStories #HiyoCarrier #SinkingHiyo #BattleOfThePacific #WorldWarII #USSAvenger #NipponKaigun
