USS Wasp (CV-7) burning after being hit by three torpedoes from a Japanese submarine I-19 east of the Solomon Islands on September 15th 1942.
Sept. 15, 1942, the U.S.S. Wasp, a United States Navy aircraft carrier, slipped beneath the waves 350 miles southeast of Guadalcanal. Hit by two or possibly three torpedoes from a Japanese submarine, the crippled ship was abandoned, then torpedoed by an American destroyer to send it to the bottom, approximately 14,000 feet below.
