  1. 6:56 The bomb hits to Hiyo were from Enterprise’s VB-10 and the torpedo was from Belleau Wood’s VT-24. Jun’yo’s hits were a bit more complicated as Enterprise’s VB-10 and Lexington’s VB-16 claimed the credit.

  2. One thing you left out Drach was that Jun'yo was in the background during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. As her Zeroes first provided CAP for the damaged Hiei and the Convoy that steamed down the slot on 14 November. Of course that didn't work out when aircraft from Henderson Field and Enterprise showed up. Supposedly, one of Jun'yo's Kates had found Enterprise but by the time she launched a strike Enterprise moved on.

  4. I think that was Zuikaku and that's a joint one with Yorktown.

  5.  @Raptor747  by the end of the war. Saratoga was reassigned as a training carrier. But Enterprise was supposed to have returned to the frontlines and had the Japanese not surrendered. She would have participated in Operation Downfall.

  10.  @fxgjolteon4781  let me rephrase that. Yorktown and Hornet damaged Zuikaku at Philippine Sea. Lexington, Essex and Langley sank her at Leyte Gulf.
