Santa Cruz 1942
Carrier duel in the South Pacific

Campaign 247
Author: Mark Stille

Santa Cruz was one of the most critical battles fought in the Pacific theatre and marked one of the key turning points in WWII. Here we saw the surviving remnants of the Japanese carrier force locked in bitter fighting with the US Navy over control of the islands in a nearly triumphant but ultimately crippling battle that overshadowed the intensity of the more well known battle of Midway.
