Action - US carrier hit by Japanese

A segment of a 1942 newsreel produced by the now-defunct and disappeared "Official Films," a production company that most often used government-created films to make documentaries and newsreels for the public, this clip shows actual combat footage of a Japanese attack on an unnamed US aircraft carrier in the South Pacific. Given as it was from 1942, I believe it was probably Yorktown before she was sunk at Midway. Posted for historical education, discussion and critique.
