The Yorktown's planes launched at 07:07 - did they reach Tulagi in time?
In this episode, we follow the decisions and movements around Tulagi in early May 1942, from Japanese landings to Yorktown’s lone carrier strike. Who had hours or minutes to act, and what risks did commanders accept as the clock ran down?
Person: Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher
Person: Rear Admiral Kiyohide Shima
Event: Tulagi landings and Yorktown strike
Date: 3-4 May 1942
Location: Tulagi, Solomon Islands
- Two coastwatchers sighted the Japanese force and transmitted warnings that reached Yorktown on 3 May.
- Shima’s invasion force anchored at Tulagi at approximately 0400 on 3 May after departing Rabaul on 30 April.
- Allied garrison evacuated before the landings; remaining defenses were three Vickers and one Bren machine gun.
- Gotō’s covering group, including the light carrier Shōhō, withdrew the afternoon of 3 May to refuel, removing local air cover.
- At 07:07 on 4 May Yorktown turned into the wind and began launching aircraft with no nearby Lexington or carrier air support.
