@madrabbit9007 Either is possible. Also of note is the fact that a LOT of footage from "Tora Tora Tora" has been incorporated into (or stolen by, if you will) other movies, so there's another potential source of confusion. I watch the 1970 film every December, often with the commentary on, so the only thing that we can conclude with confidence is that I have no social life. Have a fantastic day!

I absolutely HATE that I have to point this out, but the ship interiors in "Tora Tora Tora" were mostly studio sets, although the USS Yorktown (!) was used for the Japanese predawn launch scenes -- filmed near San Diego with her postwar bow catapults camouflaged by plywood. The USS Lexington, sadly, was used by Michael Bay to film parts of the demonic abomination that is titled "Pearl Harbor," wherein a Japanese sneak attack interrupts the dullest love triangle in the history of humanity.

@ramal5708 The USS Lexington (CV-16) has entered the chat in order to contradict you (1943 - 1991).

@madrabbit9007 You have the right idea, but the wrong movie. I own a house in nearby Port Aransas and have been a member of the Lex Museum many times since the mid 90s. You don't need the hard hat tour to visit that part of the ship. When you do visit, you will see a display they added in the mid-aughts about the filming of some "PEARL HARBOR" scenes aboard the ship. Fun fact: some scenes from that truly awful movie were also shot aboard the USS Texas in Houston.

@FlorentinoRebuildingCo.5644 You're welcome. Drach's comment section is chock full of naval history aficionados who often drop interesting factoids into the conversation. I've lost count of the number of times I've scrolled through the comments, muttered "I did NOT know that," and then scoured the interwebs to learn a little more about an event.
