On November 13, 1942, a Japanese task force attempted to bombard Henderson field at Guadalcanal. An American surface fleet intercepted them before they could succeed, forcing the Japanese to retreat. During the fighting the IJN Hiei, a Kongo class battleship, was damaged and separated from the task force. As a diversion Joe Foss led a flight of eight F4-F Wildcats to attack the Hiei: the purpose was to draw the attention of the anti-aircraft artillery so a flight of TBFs could torpedo the damaged battleship. By this time Hiei had received defensive reinforcements and was guarded by three Kagero class destroyers. This is our recreation of that mission. Draw off the anti-aircraft fire long enough for the TBFs to sink the Hiei.
This mission is slightly more complex to create, as it involves two flights of eight moving aircraft. The target, however, is simpler to configure, with only four ships to set up.
