The fight the night before, 13-14 November had beaten both naval forces down.  US forces had been beaten to a bloody pulp, as had the Japanese.  Yet despite the beating, the Japanese still held a significant numerical advantage.As Jon said last episode, the Japanese still held 3-4 BBs in reserve and had yet to commit them to the fight around Guadalcanal, for who knows what reasons.The US on the other hand, quite literally were scraping the bottom of the barrel.  That's not to say that the battleships sent to IBS were scows, not at all, but Halsey was hesitant to commit his battleships to the close waters off Savo, but honest to God had no choice at this time BUT to commit them.Let's talk about Halsey's decision to send the battleships to IBS.BB56 was designed to be a long range sniper, not a close range brawler.  She was designed in the 1930's with limitations on armor and gunnery.The USN decided in the 1930's to throw out their previous slow battleship designs, heavy on armor, heavy on firepower and low on speed, for more modern designs that emphasized gunnery, speed and cruising range.The culmination of this decision was the North Carolina class battleship, of which BB56 was the last of two.  She was fast by BB standards, capable of bending on upwards of 28-30 knots with a breeze behind her, but did not have the armor to withstand hits from weapons of her own size, that being 16 inch rifles.Washington's companion, the USS South Dakota BB57, carried the same rifles, but carried more armor, had a smidgen less speed, but had negligible torpedo protection in order to pack on more armor to withstand the hits from 16 inch rifles like she packed herself.All that being said, the decision to send his 2 BBs, literally all he had left, to deal with another heavy Japanese surface force in the claustrophobic, torpedo infested waters of IBS was incredibly ballsy…but did he really have a choice?ChingThe man who was in command of the battleships was quite honestly the perfect choice to be in that slot.  Naval Academy Class of 1908, his fondness of asian culture and desire to serve in the asiatic theater earned him the nickname “Ching”.Ching was an avid shooter.  He absolutely loved firearms of all sorts, even building a few of his own from scratch.  He joined and shot on the Naval Academy rifle team multiple times, eventually competing in the 1920 Summer Olympics.In those games, Lee earned 5 (!) gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze in team events, consistently shooting in the top three in every event.  His record of 7 medals for the olympics would not be topped until 1980.  The majority of his early service was in BBs, Cruisers, including command of USS Concord, and a destroyer division command.   In 1942 he was promoted to rear admiral.In the interwar years, Lee served on many Bureau of Ordnance boards, practicing naval gunnery, experimenting with powder calculations, windage, fire control systems theory and practical usage of heavy naval rifles.  To say that he was an expert marksman and an expert regarding naval gunnery would be an understatement.  In 1942, Lee was considered the US Navy's foremost expert on anything regarding gunnery and accuracy. A fanatic for anything that aided in gunnery, Lee was a quick advocate and an even quicker study on the new radar sets entering USN service in the late 30's early 40's. He advocated that the Navy should start a new school for the instruction of radar and also was a very vocal advocate for the new technology's installation aboard BBs, CA, and CLs.His subordinates absolutely adored him, and in a statement you will probably never hear again, so did Admiral King.  Admiral Nimitz, upon sending him to Guadalcanal stated, “Now we'll see what a real fighter can do.”Initially taking BB57 as his flagship, Lee was forced to transfer to what would become his “home” for the majority of the war, USS Washington when SoDak ran aground almost as soon as she got into theater.  The move to “Big Wash” would be fortuitous for all the reasons we are about to see.USS WashingtonBB56 had a core crew that would have made any ship blush in envy.  Her skipper Glenn Davis was absolutely loved by the crew, he was genteel, caring and whip smart.  With him he had a core of officers that turned 56 into an absolute machine of efficiency.LCDR Edwin Hooper, a graduate of MIT, was the ship's fire control officer and assistant gunnery officer.  Like Lee, he was an advocate of superior marksmanship, dove head first into ballistics and trajectory of heavy rifles, and was a firm believer in radar's abilities.  He and ADM Lee got along like a pair of long lost cousins.The gunnery officer, CDR Harvey Walsh, LCDR Harry Seeley, main battery spotting officer, CAPT Jonas PLatt, secondary battery officer and even LCDR Ed Schanze, navigator and radar officer all routinely met with and discussed gunnery and radar with ADM Lee aboard BB56.  The “Gun Club” as it was dubbed, was probably the foremost grouping of gunnery minded individuals in the US Navy, let alone on one ship.BB56, under Davis and at the direction of Hooper and Walsh, had rigorously trained their main battery crews to an efficiency level that had not been seen before aboard an American battleship.  Walsh relentlessly trained his gunnery crews to be as fast as possible when loading the 16 inch rifles.  Normal 16 inch rifles could be loaded in a time span between 25-30 seconds.  Washington's gun crews had the practice down to 15.  Absolutely devastating, earth shaking firepower ability in literally the perfect hands. Washington took delivery of her SG radar system when ADM Lee was aboard.  Lee personally supervised the installation of the interior monitoring sets and laid them out in a compartment next to the flag bridge so he could monitor it all the time, using the new technology to plot fall of shot when training.Talk about Lloyd Mustin and Atlanta taking fire from BB56 in trainingLee had Walsh and Hooper calibrate 56's guns to such a degree that when she fired in Atlanta's wake from 35,000 yards, 56's shells all landed in Atlanta's wake, not over or short, but directly on target.  Mustin said, “Those 2700 pound armor piercing projectiles were going to be very bad news for anybody they were ever aimed at.”The Fight draws nearJapanese ships, 14 in number, were assigned to bombard Henderson Field yet again on the night of 14-15 November under the direction of ADM Kondo.1 BB Kirishima2 CAs Takao, and Atago2 CLs Nagara, Sendai9 DDsThe US force, designated Task Force 64 was under the command of ADM Lee and consisted of:2 BBs, Washington and South Dakota4 DDs, Walke, Preston, Benham and GwinIt should be noted that the 2 BBs had only operated together for a very short time, and had never operated with these specific DDs before.The DDs were chosen from different divisions based on their fuel status only.TF64 aligned itself in column formation, with the DDs in the lead, followed by BB56 and BB57 bringing up the rear.At around 1300, Lee received a message from Halsey that, essentially, gave Lee a free hand to do whatever he needed to do, gave him complete freedom of action for his “excursion”.At 1600, Lee received a sighting report from submarine USS Trout that identified the Japanese bombardment force and mentioned a Japanese BB in that same force.  Knowing that the Japanese force would not reach the Savo area until around 2300, Lee waited before making his approach into the patrol area.Moments after getting the report, he gave it to CAPT Davis who got on the ship's pa system and stated, “We are going into an action area.  We have no great certainty what forces we will encounter.  we may be ambushed.  A disaster of some sort may come upon us.  But whatever it is we are going into, I hope to bring all of you back alive.  Good luck to all of us.”The men aboard the big battlewagons, aware that they were going to tangle with the Japanese, were beginning to get a bit edgy.The previous night, Japanese cruisers had bombarded Henderson relentlessly, ADM Kondo, for whatever reason, was sure that Henderson would be silenced and he would have little to worry about in the waters offshore.  He was wrong.The night, unlike the Friday the 13th battle, was clear and moonlit by a quarter moon, enough to see visually, but also enough darkness to hide if need be.As the battleships eased into the sound, radio watch picked up a transmission that has now become famous:Unknown voice aboard a US PT Boat confirmed they were tracking a target in the sound…TF 64: “This is Lee.”PT: “Who is Lee?”At this, ADM Lee grabbed the handset and broadcast himself in the clear: “Cactus, this is Lee.  Tell your big boss Ching Lee is here and wants the latest information.”PT Boat Skipper: “There go two big ones, but I don't know whose they are.”Lee: “Refer your big boss about Ching Lee, Chinese, catchee? Call off your boys.”PT: “Identity established.  We are not after you.”Lee: “Peter Tare, this is Lee.  Stand clear, we are coming through.”Well, stand by, Glenn, here they comeAboard BB56, the radar picture began to take shape as Kondo's force entered the sound.At around 2230 hours on November 14, the SG radar system aboard the Washington indicated targets north-northwest making 21 knots in two columns at a range of 18,000 yards.As the news was relayed to Lee, he smiled, looked at CAPT Davis and said, “Well, stand by, Glenn, here they come.”Such coolness under fire, and a supreme confidence in his and his crew's abilities…Davis gave the order to load the main battery, and aboard both 56 and 57, the weapons were loaded and trained to starboard as the radar tracked the incoming targets…Kondo had arranged his ships in 3 groups actuallyKirishima, Atago and Takao were the center groupNagara and 6 DDs were the screening forceSendai and 3 DDs were the sweeping force ordered to sweep the sound for any US shipsIt was this third group that 56 was tracking at this time…At 2313 hours, the waiting ended. When the enemy was visually sighted from the Washington at a range of 11,000 yards, Admiral Lee called South Dakota's Captain Gatch over the radio and gave him permission to fire. Lee put the radio down, turned to Davis and ordered, “Open fire when ready.”When the indicator lights in main battery plot flashed green, Harvey Walsh gave the order, “Open Fire.”Both 56 and 57 opened fire within seconds of each other.56's first salvo was an over, less than 30 seconds later her next salvo was a straddle, her third salvo showed a flicker on the radar scope, indicating a hit which actually did not occur on Sendai.The Japanese, aware of the presence of American ships, but unaware of the presence of American battleships seemed to panic at the sight of enormous geysers of water sprouting around Sendai.  SoDak's radio snoopers heard “Japanese voices, excited and very numerous.”Sendai and her escorts, put about and got the hell out of there…At 2322 hours, the American van of DDs engaged Japanese DDs and Nagara of the screening force.Within 10 minutes, both Walke and Preston are hit by accurate Japanese gunfire, and of course, torpedoes.Preston may have also been a victim of BB56's secondary battery fusilladeDD Benham has her bow blown off by a Long Lance and sinks later the next day.DD Gwin is hit in her engine spaces and retires from the fightADM Lee orders all of his remaining DDs to retire at 2348, leaving the 2 US BBs as the only opposition.Japanese DD Ayanami is taken under fire by BB56's secondary battery and is repeatedly hit and eventually sinksCredit for her sinking goes to BB56 and her secondary battery, although she actually shares credit with DD GwinSouth Dakota in a world of troubleAt roughly the same time that all this is happening, SoDak goes dark.SoDak's after turret had just fired when all of a sudden, power went out across ship.The ship's chief engineer had tied down the circuit breakers, against regulations, and when the main battery went off, the concussion was such that it tripped the breakers in series, knocking power out throughout the ship.At this time, BB56 turns to avoid running through the scattered remnants of her DD escort, and when she does she passes behind the burning wrecks, keeping out of the Japanese eye.As she does, her crewmen on deck throw life rafts and life jackets to the Americans bobbing in the water.Supposedly a 56 sailor hears a survivor holler, “Get after em Washington!” as she passes through the debris at 26 knots…The blind SoDak turns as well to avoid the wrecks, but she turns to the outside of the burning hulks and when she does, the burning US DDs silouhette her for all of the world to see.3 minutes after SoDaks power failed, it was restored.  It is said that the confusion aboard caused Gatch's ship to become a tactical punching bag, but who knows…The Japanese execute a series of confusing maneuvers, both in response to the attack on the US DDs and the  report of US BBs in the sound by visual detection.In the ensuing maneuvers, Kondo's screening and sweeping force both move out of effective range for the fight, leaving Kirishima and the two CAs aloneKirishima turns on her searchlight and illuminates SoDak.  When this happens, SoDak immediately takes heavy enemy fire, especially from Takao and Atago, as they pour 8 inch fire into her upper-works setting her afire from 5,000 yards.At the same time, Kirishima finally opens fire (announcing her presence) and hits SoDak in her after turret essentially knocking it out as it doesn't respond any longer.Her main battery out of commission again because of another power failure, her secondaries bark in local control and do score hits on Atago but do little damage.SoDak eventually does restore power again and unleashes her main battery at Kirishima.  It is unknown, but unlikely, that she hit her.In the pounding, SoDak takes at least 26 hits, mostly 8, 6 and smaller caliber hits in her upper works that started many fires and threatened her secondary powder magazine.She also suffers 1 14 inch hit in her after turret.  Having taken a beating and on fire, Gatch orders SoDak to come about and retreat from the area. He does this without telling Lee by the way.Washington slays the giantAs all of the previous mentioned action is happening, BB56's radar had steadily been tracking a large target off her starboard beam.Lee was aware that SoDak was blacked out and he was concerned that the target might actually be SoDak as 56's radar had lost track of her because of poor placement aboard ship.When Kirishima switched her searchlights on, the target was confirmed visually as hostile.At a range of only 8,400 yards BB56 emerged from the cover of her burning DD escort and unleashed  a full nine gun broadside at KirishimaShell splashes in the water caused Hank Seeley to believe they had missed the target. AAR stated that the first salvo missed, but 2019 underwater surveillance confirmed that Kirishima suffered several below the waterline hits, including the recorded “miss” from 56's first salvo.Because of his supposed “miss”, Seeley nudges the main battery up a smidge and 56's second salvo, which was fired less than 20 seconds after the first, slammed into Kirishima's superstructure, obliterating her third level bridge and everyone in it.Washington's third salvo was deadly accurate. Five of Washington's shells struck Kirishima amidships, with one shell penetrating below her waterline, causing massive flooding. The five amidships hits blew open bulkheads, penetrated well inside the ship, and exploded in close proximity to Kirishima's secondary battery-ammunition magazine, causing ship-threatening fires and leaving 30-foot holes in the deck near the casemates.Another salvo from Washington scores more hits.  Another below the water line blast causes more internal flooding, and yet more below water line hits occur.Another hit penetrates the steering room causing severe damage inside, and yet another detonates through her stern and helps to jam the rudder.As the distance continues to close, 56's secondaries join in on the beating and pour 5 inch shell fire into Kirishima's superstructure, even scoring 2 hits on her hull that do little to no damage.  No one knows amount of damage done by the secondaries, but it had to have been frightful.Kirishima manages to return fire at Washington, but misses, her 14 inch shells passing through 56's rigging, tearing down some of her signal flags and nothing more.  An inch is as good as a mile…Kirishima spotters say they hit BB56 at least 10 times with the main battery, yet don't touch her in reality.Through the melee of noise, smoke, and fire, ADM Lee said, “If you can see anything to shoot at, go ahead.” The leviathan's 16-inch guns opened up again, striking Kirishima at a range of 7,850 yards. Two shells struck the forward 14-inch turret of Kirishima at the same time, destroying the weapon. More shells found their mark up forward as even more shells struck farther aft, the coup de grace a 16-inch shell exploding under Kirishima's keel, permanently jamming her rudder 80 degrees to starboard and eliminating all control of the vessel as Kirishima tries to retire and shows her stern to Washington.Utterly beaten to a bloody pulp, Kirishima begins to circle helplessly, still taking hits from Washington's guns.Post war wreck analysis confirmed at least 21 16 inch shell hits on Kirishima's hull and what could be seen of her upper-works (which isn't much).Kirishima slides down by the bow as she is scuttled and detonates under her forward barbettes absolutely destroying the forward part of the ship.Kondo orders a withdrawal  as BB56 tracks a cruiser with her forward turrets and a DD with her after turret.  Lee, still not knowing the location of SoDak does not allow the main battery to open fire.Kondo orders a torpedo attack as his ships withdraw, torpedoes pass close to BB56, but all miss her.At 0033 Lee orders a retirement still observing torpedoes in her wake.By 0110 the Japanese were gone…End of battle…SoDak suffers 38 men KIA, and a further 60 wounded.Washington suffers 1 punctured eardrum and 1 hand abrasionThe US DDs suffer losses in excess of 200 KIA.Japanese casualties are unclear, but were excessive.Had Lee not shot the Japanese to pieces, they would have bombarded Henderson and the troop convoy inbound would have likely unloaded relatively unmolested.Regardless, Tanaka orders his convoy to continue south, where they eventually run aground, those that survive the coming aerial onslaught the following day.Implications on the rest of the campaign… 

This week Bill and I have a special guest with us, he's been here before and we always love to have him, he's the one, the only, my good buddy, Jon Parshall.If you've been listening to the podcast as of late, you are well aware that we are making our way through the slug fest that was the Guadalcanal campaign.  While the fighting ashore has raged on and off between pitched engagements, the seas around the Canal have been anything but quiet.  Savo Island in August was a debacle for the US Navy, the carrier forces under Admiral fletcher landed some fairly significant blows on the Japanese carrier force at Eastern Solomons, and Admiral Norman Scott finally exacted some revenge for Savo at the Battle of Cape Esperance.  The US Navy has seen it's share of victories, as well as defeats in these bloody waters.  And while the fighting has been significant at sea…it ain't over.  Not even close.  The calendar now sits in October 1942, October 26 exactly.  And ashore, the Japanese have launched a massive offensive to finally push the Marines and Army off Guadalcanal.  The October offensive and the fighting that takes place ashore will be remembered as the Battle of Henderson Field.  The fighting at sea that takes place only a day later, all coinciding with the offensive ashore, will be called the Battle of Santa Cruz.Talking Points:Japanese Preparations and Plans Pre-Battle:The combined fleet sorties from Truk on October 11.  The force is very large, the largest Japanese force that has put to sea since Midway and consists of 4 CVs and 1 light CV3 Fleet CVs1 Light CV4 BBs8 CAs2 CLs24 DDsThe Japanese had planned that the naval force that was now at sea would not necessarily support the operation ashore, but would directly benefit from the success of the ground offensiveThat being said, once Hyakutake's infantry had captured Henderson, the Japanese combined fleet would then be free from any attack from land based air.The pre-sailing plans called for the Japanese so-called Support Force to make a high-speed run into the Guadalcanal area to intercept and destroy any American fleet units that would come to the rescue of the infantry following the Japanese land-based offensive's success.This is part of the reason why Kongo and Haruna blasted the shit out of Henderson on October 14-15.  Both to soften the defenses, destroy the airfield and also, hopefully draw the Americans out to fight.Japanese intel, which we have not talked about very much, had deduced via traffic patterns that at least 1 US CV was in the Canal area.Based on traffic patterns, the Japanese had seen a large flurry of messages go out to a “powerful unit” south of Guadalcanal that would receive the messages and maintain radio silence.This of course is CV8Again, based on traffic patterns, the Japanese had deduced that another major fleet unit had sailed from Pearl Harbor on or about Oct 15.This is the newly repaired CV6The Japanese estimated that this task force was headed south as well to join up with the other “ghost” forceJapanese. Intel also read US newspapers and listened to the news, as US officials ignorantly declared on October 20 that US Naval forces off Guadalcanal were preparing for a “sea clash”The Land influences the SeaDelays ashore from the Japanese 17th Army (future Henderson Field offensive force) caused Y-Day to be pushed from October 19 to the 22nd.  Incidentally, Hiyo suffers a fire in her engineering spaces that causes her to return to port and not take part in the planned upcoming action.17th Army again delays the offensive until the 24th further irritating the IJN.The delay by the Army forced the Navy to delay its attack which allowed CV6 to rejoin the American forces off Guadalcanal on October 24 and thus restoring some parity to any upcoming carrier battle.US Forces for battleUS forces are under the overall command of ADM Thomas Kinkaid TF 16 under Kinkaid has:CV61 CA1 CL 8 DDs 1 BB (SoDak)TF 17 under ADM George Murray has:CV82 CAs2 CLs 6 DDs Previous to CV6 returning from Pearl, CV8 was the only US CV in the area.CV8 was still, despite having been at Midway, an unexperienced CV.That being said, her aircrew was a mix of veterans and newbies.VS-8 skipper Gus Widhelm Veteran of Coral Sea and hit and run raids with VS-5Fantastic leaderVB-8 SBD pilot Clayton FisherVeteran of the Flight to Nowhere, June 4 afternoon raid and Mogami/Mikuma raid on June 6, but otherwise relatively fresh CV6 had just returned to the fleet after having been patched up after Eastern SolomonsCV6 still retained her well-trained deck crews, DC parties and the like.  Battle tested, CV6 would need all the help she could get in the upcoming fightWhile a veteran carrier, she deployed a brand-new air group, AG 10.Air Group 10, although new, is rife with veterans of different engagementsVF-10, better known as the Grim Reapers, is led by the legendary Jimmy Flatley and hosts names like:Jack LepplaDon Flash GordonWhitey Feightner and most importantly, Swede VejtasaBucky Lee led VS-10, not so much a veteran, but an incredible leader.  He had with him names that were both familiar and would become familiarBirney StrongMartin “Red” CarmodyAgain, technically a new air group, Air Group 10 would prove to be, arguably, the finest Air Group put to sea in 1942, and maybe the warThe Battle draws nearNight of October 24-25 the Japanese send out searches to find the suspected US CVs but do not find them.  They do detect ADM Willis Lee's BB56 but do not attack due to extreme rangeAround noon on October 25 US PBYs spot 2 Japanese CVsMonitoring the radio intercepts in Noumea, Halsey reads the sightings and messages Kinkaid “STRIKE! REPEAT STRIKE!”Amplifying reports allowed Kinkaid to launch at 1430 and again at 1520 his main strikeThe Japanese turned north, but radio silence does not allow Kinkaid to recall his strikers. This ends up, not so well, in that the majority of the strike gets lost and is, thankfully, shepherded back to CV6 by Swede Vejtasa who recalls that CV6 has an oil leak, spots the leak and follows it, at wave-top height, back to CV6 with the majority of the strike…at night.The Carrier Battle (Morning)Both sides readied search planes for a first light search patternDuring the night of 25-26, US PBYs spotted, and attacked, the Japanese including Zuikaku.  The PBYs missed, and their contact reports essentially went unheard.The Japanese got scouts off first, between 0415 and 0445.CV6 launched her own scouts around 0445 as well.  Kinkaid finally received the PBYs sighting report at 0512 but deemed the information old (which it was) and considered it to be inaccurate.One of CV6s scouts saw and approached one of Nagumo's Kate scout planes, only 85 miles away from CV6, confirming the presence of Japanese CVs in the area. First BloodBucky Lee, skipper of VS-10 spotted Nagumo's CVs at 0650 and climbed to attack altitude, but were driven off by CAPLee's scouting report alerted every SBD in the area, and drove them towards the Japanese like flies to honeyRadioman Clarence Garlow heard Lee's report, jotted it down and reported the contact to his pilot, Birney Strong.Birney and Eastern Solomons, pressure from Crommelin to attack and a bruise on his prideStrong diligently plotted the contact report, adjusted his fuel mixture for maximum distance and headed in the direction of the sighting.Showing off his supreme navigational skills, Strong found the enemy 20 minutes later as 2 of the 3 CVs in the area emerged from cloud cover.At the same time that Strong and his wingman Irvine approached, 2 other SBDs, one piloted by Red Carmody were being harassed by CAP Zeros, leaving Strong and Irvine wide open for a clear attack.Diving from 14,000 feet, at 0740, Strong popped in and out of clouds for the 30 seconds he dove.  At 1,500 feet the clouds parted and directly beneath him was the flight deck of Zuiho.Both Strong and Irvine planted their 500 pounders into the flight deck of Zuiho. The hits were not fatal, but did force her withdrawal.At 0658, Japanese scouts spot the HornetDespite the fact that the US spotted the Japanese first, it is the IJN that gets their strike off first (no surprise here)At 0725 Shokaku and Zuikaku launches their strikes, 62 aircraft led by MurataTalk about MurataComposition of the strikeAs the Japanese strike is on its way to Hornet, CV8 and a small CV6 strike passes them in the air.Let's talk about how the US strikes during this entire battle are very piecemeal, unorganized and generally unpreparedAs the Hornet strikers pass the Japanese, Zeros from Zuiho break off and attack the CV6 formationThe TBFs are hit hard as their fighter protection was in the process of making S turns to keep up with the slow TBFs and were on the outward leg of the turn during the attackAt 0850 Hornet's strike spotted Shokaku.  As the SBDs home in, they are hit again by Zuiho CAP, as well as Shokaku CAPGus Widhelm, strike leader, is shot down but later rescued.At the tail end of the formation is Clay FisherTalk about Clay's experienceHornet's strike, despite taking heavy casualties, is successful in hitting ShokakuJohn describe Shokaku damage 4-06 hits from 1000 poundersHornet Under AttackHornet receives word of the inbound strike from her outbound strikePoor coordination from CV6 and CV8 FDOs do not allow the CAP to engage in sufficient numbers to deter the incoming attack (Like Eastern Solomons)Japanese sight Hornet at 0855, but do not see CV6 as she dives into a rain squallHornet prepares for the attack, turns NE and dials up 31 knotsCAP engages at 15 miles but Vals break through and commence the attack at 0910First two Vals miss At 0912 Hornet is hit by three bombs within minutes1st bomb hits the flight deck and kills 60 men as it explodes 3 decks downMoments later another bomb struck the flight deck, this time exploding on the deck itself. The explosion blew an 11-foot hole in the deck, and the flying shrapnel killed another 30 of Hornet's crew. Still the rain of bombs came. Hornet suffered yet another hit when another 550-pound bomb penetrated three decks below and exploded there, causing severe damage but no loss of life. Seconds later, a damaged “Val” dive-bomber, hit by Hornet's own antiaircraft fire, plunged into the carrier's stack, glancing off of the port leading edge of the stack and smacking into the flight deck, the engine and propeller embedded firmly into the sea-blue stained Douglas fir flight deck. All of the hits suffered by Hornet thus far had occurred in a blinding fast span of just over two minutes. As Hornet reels from the Val attack, the Kates come into viewDescribe the Kate attack led by MurataHammer and anvil attack0915 Hornet is struck by 2 torpedoes starboard1 Val, having already dropped its load, swerves around Hornet from astern, passes the bridge and makes a wingtip vertical turn to crash into her port bowAt 0925 the attack is over and Hornet is dead in the water and listingFires were under control by 10, and she is being prepared for a two by NorthamptonThe Big E under attackJapanese Vals spot CV6 at 1000. They commence their attack at about 1015, led by SekiLT Keiichi Arima, who had hit the Big E at Eastern Solomons, again dives on CV6 and scores yet another hit on the ship.  Dead center near the bow.  The bomb flew through the flight deck and exploded in the water, showering CV6 with shrapnel and starting fires in the focsleMinutes later another bomb hits CV6, near the after portion of the forward elevator exploding in the hangar deck killing 40 menWilliam PinckneyAfrican American of slight build- carried wounded up the ladders to safety before he himself passed out, both wounded and with 3rd degree burns.  Navy CrossA third bomb was a tooth rattling near miss that opened hull plates and 2 empty fuel bunkersBy 1020, the attack was over.At 1035 the Kates arrived.  One of the CAP pilots to engage was Swede VejtasaDuring the attack on Hornet, Swede engaged and shot down one of the Vals that was about to dive on CV8, as well as one of the Vals that attacked CV6.Still aloft and with the majority of his ammunition still available, Swede switched off his two outboard weapons so as to conserve ammo, climbed above the Kate's altitude, dove into them and began picking them off one by one, dropping five of the bandits in about 15 seconds.His last target, another Kate, was riddled by Swede's guns, but flew on.  The aircraft piloted by Takei Kiyomi, dropped down, flew over SoDak and deliberately crashed into USS Smith.  The dead aircraft slid off the ship but the torpedo cooked off, setting the destroyer ablaze.Smith, under the command of LCDR Hunter Wood, steered directly into the boiling wake of SoDak.  The enormous wake thrown up by the battleship sliding along at 27 knots extinguished the flames, allowing the plucky little DD to resume station and resume firing.Vejtasa is credited with downing 7 Japanese aircraft in that one CAP mission, a record that still stands today. He would be recommended for the MOH, but instead would receive his 3rd (!) Navy CrossCV6 dodges a total of 9 Japanese torpedoes, throughout her ordeal USS South Dakota (BB-57) keeps station, a scant 1,000 yards astern, matching every move she makes so as to provide AAA support with her new 40mm bofors guns.SoDak claims 26 kills, an unlikely mark, but nevertheless, her guns and her adroit maneuvering certainly helped keep the Big E afloat.The returning Japanese (what few manage to return) get back to their CVs and speak of the tremendous amounts of American AA.  Some of those who returned were visibly shaken and could not speak due to shock.The Battle OverAt 1135 with CV8 out of action and CV6 heavily damaged, Kinkaid withdraws, leaving CV8 under tow by Northampton and a few screeners.At 1235 CV6 resumes landing ops and recovers the remaining aircraft aloft with only one operable elevator.  LSO Robin Lindsey, performs his legendary “virtuoso” He receives word from the bridge to stop landing aircraft as the deck is clogged.  Knowing that the majority of the remaining aircraft are SBDs, he elects to literally pull the plug from his headset, ignore orders and bring the boys down.  Lindsey landed so many planes that he was landing the last batch on the last arresting wire, unfazed. Last to land was Swede catching the #1 wire, with 56 other aircraft jammed ahead of him on the deck.At 1520, with the majority of US forces leaving the field of battle, Hornet is attacked again.  She is struck by 1 torpedo from Junyo. At this point, the remaining crew abandons ship and she is ordered to be scuttled.2 US DDs fire over 400 rounds into CV8 as well as torpedoes, but she refuses to sink.  (Harder than woodpecker lips)Knowing the IJN is closing, the DDs beat feet and get the hell out of the area, leaving CV8 to her enemy. 2 Japanese DDs finally finish Hornet off.Implications on the CampaignClearly Santa Cruz is a US defeat, although we claimed victory.  We leave the field of battle to the enemy and suffer more damage…clear defeat…in one way, a victory in another although unseen at that time.Japanese air losses have now reached a critical level.  Through attrition at Coral Sea, Midway, eastern Solomons, and especially Santa Cruz, more than half of the elite aviators who started the war are now dead.  Japanese pilot training and replacement systems problemsFinal Tally:US- 1 CV sunk, 1 DD sunk, 1 CV heavily damaged.  1 BB lightly damaged, 1 CL and 2 DDs damaged.81 aircraft lost266 men KIAJapanese- 1 CV heavily damaged, 1light CV damaged, 1 CA damaged, 1 DD damaged99 aircraft lost400-500 men KIA18% of Zero pilots killed 50% of Val crews killed31% of Kate crews killedHorrendous aircrew lossesUS AA, with the introduction of the 40mm account for roughly half of these losses!

Neither rain nor snow nor influenza keeps Tracy and Rachel from closing out 2022 with the fabulous Janelle Schock, Designer and Chief Operating Officer of Sodak Clothing! A lifelong artist and creative, Janelle shares how her family followed the call of the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota to embrace an exciting new adventure as the owners of the family-owned and operated company, Sodak Clothing. Building on her background as a professional photographer and homeschool educator, Janelle reveals how she taught herself graphic design, marketing, and website development to re-launch Sodak Clothing as a movement embracing and celebrating South Dakota pride. Janelle encourages others looking to make a life or career change and speaks candidly about creating a vision and incorporating family and faith into her home and business, embracing her own unique (and occasionally countercultural) life. Tracy suggests Janelle parlay her wisdom and catchphrases into a new weekly segment christened Motto Monday, while Rachel literally hurts her arm enthusiastically cheering over SoDak clothing featuring a line of dresses. All three agree that there are few things more powerful than strong, healthy friendships among women.

In today's podcast, Sheila Lord has a fascinating conversation with Bob Cummins, Executive Director of Sodak, about how companies can create a safer, healthier, and more effective place of work through behavioural insights. They also discuss the meaning of “behaviour” and Bob outlines the elements that influence other people's behaviour Bob believes in using behavioural science to improve organisations through the behaviours of their people. In 2013 he formed SODAK, with the express aim of helping people understand people.

Chuck Hasse and pal Randy Topper were in a HUGE 200+ boat national championship on Lake Oahe in South Dakota, where the temps topped 100 degrees all three days. Plus, he updates the latest on Leech Lake as we hit mid-August. All that and a controversial Fast Five where there's a dispute on ducks.

Picking up a bow for the first time at 14 years old, Ben Klusmann was hooked on the sport of archery and his world hasn't been the same since.  While he and his father did their fair share of gun hunting, it wasn't until the South Dakotan watched Michael Waddell harvest a turkey with a bow on TV that he knew there was more to the outdoors he needed to explore. He told his dad he wanted to start shooting a bow and they were off to the basement to dust off an old Bear recurve. Setting up a few hay bales and with a handful of paper plates in tow, Ben began to learn to shoot like so many of us have over the years. Once he became proficient enough with the primitive, hand me down gift, it was off to the archery shop and the big leagues of a compound bow. His first archery harvest soon followed and gun hunting quickly became a thing of the past. After a call from a recruiter in high school, Klusmann's path to the military included a tech college stop, a criminal justice degree and a job at the state penitentiary. It was there that he met several former Veterans who stoked his fire to serve. Still undecided and lacking a clear direction, Ben was drifting away from his faith and headed down a path he knew he shouldn't be on. Sitting on his bed one evening, his Bible opened to Joshua 1:9 which reads: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Just days letter, he was off to sign up for the Army.  Sworn in on September 11th, 2013, orders for Afghanistan fell through and Ben was shipped off to Egypt instead. Never able to engage in the true combat missions he signed on for, the infantryman missed his family and knew that the military lifestyle was not for him. He felt that God had other plans and five years his contract was up, he was back in his home state managing a Hi-Vee grocery store.In a dark place personally, Ben starting drinking heavily and was living in a way that didn't honor the God he had served on and off for the better part of a decade. Thankfully, he met his wife during this difficult time and things started to turn around. She helped open his eyes to a better, sober lifestyle and they were married less than a year later. Now with two young children and a third arriving in December, the family man is following the Lord once again and took a job for the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation as a Veteran Employment Specialist. While he put the bow down during his time in the Army, he has picked it back up with an even greater purpose. In 2018, Klusmann redirected that passion into the formation of SoDak Horizon Outdoors, a YouTube channel and social media platform for all things archery. From beginners to lifelong bowhunters, viewers can follow Ben's adventures that range from backyard practice to time in the stand to his recent trip to Wisconsin and the most recent HHAUSA 3D shoot. Like so many of the Veterans that I have been blessed to meet over the past decade, Ben is using the sport of archery to not only keep his own mental health in check but is sharing that with his growing audience and the platform God has given him. A man after my own heart, we are excited to see what the future holds and can't wait to collaborate with him in the near future.

DORK #2 is one of the greatest "All Around" Vikings, Chad Greenway! Chad played all of his 11 seasons in the NFL as a Viking. He and his family have made Minnesota their home, and his "Lead The Way Foundation" continues to give back to his adopted State (he's from SoDak). Chad and I "DORK" out about "Coke-Bottle" glasses, corduroy pants and an unfortunate accident, Garth Brooks, and how he grew up in the worst part of the 80's.

Opening with an impromptu visit to the Terry Redlin Art Center in Watertown, we dive into a “State-of-the-State” discussion about pheasants in South Dakota with Pheasants Forever biologists Matt Morlock and Erica Yost. The wide-ranging conversation covers the current habitat conditions in the state and this year’s 47 percent jump in SoDak bird numbers. We also chat about some innovative new PF initiatives to add habitat to the South Dakota landscape before we close the show with a few insider tips for nonresident pheasant hunters to put more birds in their vest this season.

In this episode, we discuss the importance and the impact of small independent craft brewers to the communities they are in. When discussing just the segment of “craft brewers” in America, 27 of those breweries (>.5%) are making 54% of total volume of “craft beer” made. This means, much of the craft beer in the USA is being produced by the other 5000+ very small local breweries. Nearly all the breweries in South Dakota are hyper-localized. They serve the surrounding neighborhoods and communities. SoDak breweries follow the local craft brewery model. We do not have mega-breweries or international conglomerate malt beverage manufactures in our state. South Dakota is one of the last states to reexamine the laws governing this industry. Is now the time to look at our laws to see if we can modernize the rules to fit the reality of what the brewers in South Dakota are?
