15 The weather in our vicinity was clear unlimited visibility and ceilinil few clouds no rain squalls wind about 15 knots from southeast Radar reported at 1100 many enemyaircraft approaching from northward distance about 75 miles First enemy planes were sighted from the ship at 1113 They were torpedo planes They were at about 6-7000 feet altitude and split and came in from both bows Ships speed had been built up to 25 Its at 1100 when the attack was expected and was immediately increased to 30 kts when the hostile aircraft were sighted

16 Our caobat patrol under the Fighter Director was patrolling at 10000 feet Exact altitude of the approachshying enemy was not determined but was known to be over 10000 feet The fighters made contact 20-30 miles out but the enemybombers were at 17000 feet and the performance of our fighters was not sufficient to gain enough altitude to attack them before they reached the push-over point The bombers intershycepted were accompanied by 18 protective fighters which our fighters subsequently engaged in combat and show down or damaged six They were Le-109 00 96 and 0 t-ypes

17 The Anti-torpedo Plane Patrol was on station at 2000 feet but about 6000 yards out This patrol alwayshas a tendency to get too far out probably due both to conshycern over AA fire from surface ships and an eagerness to intershycept torpedo planes well out From this position the enemytorpedo planes at h1~h speed came in oyer them Even so the SbDs on the port side intercepted shot down 4 VT with torpedoes 4 without torpedoes 1 VB Bnd 2 accompanyins VF One SED was shot down by enemy yenF

18 Anti-aircraft fire from this force was openedgenerally about 1113 Torpedo planes made the first attackthe first approaching from port and others circling to come in

19 Apparently there were seven explosions againstthe LEXINGTON two of which are thought to have been torpedoes1 1000-lb bomb hit 2 1000-lb bomb very near misses on the port Side and 2 smaller bombs Fires were started in the main deck near the Admirals country beneath the incinerator near the gig boat pocket and one in the forward starboard marine compartment near tne forward elevator The ship Vias listing about 60 to port Damage control reported they were shifting oil to correct the list and fire parties were fightshying the fires Main Control reported all units in commission lumber 2 4 and 6 fire rooms were partially flooded but water was being controlled by the pumps Steering gear was intact and the ship was making 25 kts under good control Both elevators at this time were reported out of commiSSion jammed in the up pOSition due to machinery casualties in the wells probably from shock

made a final inspection and went aft where my executive officer Commander SELIG~~ reported to me all men were off the shipAt this time a tremendous explosion about tbe vicinity of the elevator sbook the ship and we had to duok to avoid fallingdebris I directed Commander SELlaMAN to disembark I saw bim in tbe water swimming toward an approacbing motor whale boat Havine as sured myself there was no other living person )) on the ship I went dmvn a line hend over bend and dropped orf into the water to be picked up by a motor whale boat of the USS lIlillAPOLIS Tbis boat took me to tbe USS MINNEAPOLIS where I reported to Admiral FITCH

27 The picture of the burning and doomed ship was n magnificent but sad sight The ship end orew had performed gloriously and it seemed too bad that she ba~ to perisb in her hour of victory But she went to a glorious end more fitting than the usual fate of the eventual scrap heap or succumbing to the perHs of tbe sea She went down in battle after e ~lorious victory for our force s in wbicb tbe LEXINGTON end hc r air group played so conspicious a part

28 The PHLPS Vias directed by the Task Force Commander to sink the LIXlNGfON by torpedoes Five torpedoes were fired a t least three hit and she finally went under on en even keel As she Nent under D tremendous explosion occurred which rocked ships for miles around It was the end of the L~XINGTON These circunstences were reported to me verbally by the CommandingOfficer of the PHELPS

29 Tle survivors were scattered among nearly all of the accompanying ships Che ck-ups by signal disclosed a total of about 2735 survivors There were no drownings in the water due to aband oning ship SO far as known All losses of personnel were due to air combat in the air group or to the bomb explosionsand fire on the ship The preliminary total of personnel los ses subject to final che ck is 26 officers and 190 men out of a total comple~ent of 2951 This in itself is considered to be a re~8rk8ble achievement

CONCLUSIONS-30-1 Air offense is definitely superior to the defense

)0-2 Combat patrol s must patrol at 20000 feet to insure interception prior to attack of hiBb-flying enemyen dive bombers

30-3 Anti-torpedO Plane Patrols must keep in close ~o the torpedo release paint at about 3000 feet altitude to 1nsure interception of either high or 1011 approach torpedo planes This)J

employment Of SEDs is a make-shift at best the best defense would be to have surficient fighters for both a high and low petrol This condition will seldom be realized In this particshyular attack the Anti-torpedo Plane Patrol of SEEs was partiallyeffecthe They shot down nine torpedo planes four with torpedoesaboard four without and one undetermined They also shot down two fighters One SBD was shot down by enemy fighters The Antishytorpedo Plane Patrol on the port side of the formation made all the interoepts It wss in position 3000 yds outside of screen at 2000 feet If it had been at the designated altitude of 3000 feet its position would have been more effective It is considered that the Anti-torpedo Plane Patrol of SBDs is amplyJustified as better than nothing

30-4 our personnel are superior in quality and skill to the Japanese

)0-5 The ship was completely ready for the attack in every respect A total of 11 fighters were in the air for defense against bombers and 14 SBDs tor defense against torpedo planesin addition to planes in the air for defense from the YOllKTO~IN All guns were manned and ready Material condition Zed to meet the attack was completely set Twenty-five to thIrty knots speed was being made All personnel were alert

)0-6 This battle definitely represented the simpleproblem Of carrier against carrier Both air groups were attacking the others carrier at about the same time I preshydicted ahead of time that it was possible for both attacks to be successful and for both opposing carriers to be destroyedThat is what happened But few of our attscklnf planes were destroyed in the attack itself whereas many of the Japaneseplanes were destroyed by our fighters and AA fire in their attack on us The LEXING~ON rcmaned afloat for over seven hours and rescued about 92 of her personnel whereas the ene~ carrier is believed to have sunk within the hour and to have lost a heavy peroentage of its personnel

30-7 In this battle the enemy had the advantage of weather The LEXINGTON was in a clear area whereas the Japanese were in a rain squall area Nevertheless the major part of the LEXINGTON air attack group was able to find its objective

middote1fective The general tendency was still to use insuf1icient lead and to fire under the target

30-9 The loss of the ship was caused by an internal gasoline vapor explosion near Central Station below the armored deck in the vicinity 01 the forward torpedo hit This explosionresulted from minor ~asoline leaks gradually accumulatlng highlyexplosive vapor in the area It was undetected due to the complete sealing of the ship in Condition Zed The adjacentgasoline control room had been flooded and sealed with CO2 as a preventive measure For means of preventing see recommenaation 31-8 below

30-10 The material perfonnance was in general excellent No gun stoppages or ma terisl failures were reported by the planes The damage control features 01 the design of the LEXINGTON speak for themselves she remained afloat for over seven hours after sustaining two torpe do hlts three bomb hIts and two near mis ses and had to be finally sunk by additional torpedo hits

30-11 The perfonnance of all personnel waB map-nificentI cannot say too much in praise of the conduct of the personnel of the officers and men of the LEXIN~TOII and her aquadrons The finest tradi t ions of the Naval service were upheld in every respe ct lany cases ot individual heroism occurred and they are too numerous to mention in this report In accordance with Commander-in-Chief Pacific Fleet Instructions separate letter is being s~bm1tted with recommendations for ouitable awards 1n these cases However I wish to emphasize that every last officer and man performed hie duty with the greatest credit to himself his family and hi country Ttle country can Vlell be proud of their perforcance

30-12 Our present methods of training and tactic are SOUnd as proven by this engagement Our attacks were successful and except for the gasoline vapor explosion the ship would have been saved
