18 April 1942 Somewhere in the pacific ocean. 7:38 the Japanese picket boat #23- Nitto Maru sights task force 18 (Carrier Hornet and complement). The Nitto Maru is sunk by gunfire from the USS Nashville. Naval intelligence is unable to determine if the Nitto Maru was able to relay the position of the Hornet to Japan before she was sunk.

By noon the 16 B-25s will be over the Japanese mainland, they will make their targets and by some miracle they all leave Japanese airspace later that day mostly unscathed. Tomorrow I'll provide a summary of the mission.
