Scenario length – 15 minutes
October 26, 1942. The second Japanese strike of the day attacked the USS Enterprise just after 10:00 in the morning. The Enterprise screen had just had a destroyer damaged by a mislaunched US aerial torpedo, and another destroyer had been detached to sink it. The US Fighter Direction was haphazard and disorganized, leaving only 8 fighters with enough altitude to attack the Japanese Vals. The Big E suffered two direct hits and a near miss, but remained a battle capable unit. [Note: This scenario is intended for play against a US AI]
