  1. 2:32 - It's especially apt for a ship that's (supposed to be) able to take a licking and keep on ticking, like Taiho. 7:48 - Props to that pilot for his efforts to protect his ship, even at the cost of his own life. 👏🫡😢 12:30 - The excellentness of American damage control is especially clear when you consider that Franklin took essentially the same sort of hit that Akagi did at Midway; Franklin survived, made it back to port, and was fully repaired, whereas Akagi... didn't.

  3. Taiho went down in almost exactly the same way as Lexington did at Coral Sea.
