- Hello everyone!
Thank you SO MUCH for your support guys! It means a lot to me!
Today I'm back with another mini-documentary!
Today we're gonna be taking a look at the USS Lexington, a US carrier, which was sunk at the battle of the Coral Sea.
This video was made possible by the IBSMC Mod for Battlestations: Midway! If YOU want to install the mod and be able to play the IJN Campaign, here is the tutorial I made on how to install it: • How to install IBSMC M...
Take care and Enjoy!
I was in the hospital recovering from a very serious operation which left me paralyzed for more than two years and my hospital roommate survived the sinking of the USS Lexington. He told me that he was a cook and told how the ship was hit by many bombs before it sank. My father had friends who were Navy pilots that were killed in battle of Coral Sea. I never asked for their names and knew they were fighter pilots. I only remember that my classmates had fathers who fought in WWII for the US, UK, German, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Polish, Chinese and many other countries. My father fought in US Army and was a 1st Sergeant Fox Company 442nd RCT from March 1943 through March 1945.
My brother was on the Lexington for that battle. He was able to lead his men out of the engineering spaces through smoke, fire and darkness, and all were saved.
The USS Lexington CV-2's wreck was explored on 4th march 2018, 3000 meters in deepwaters...

What game is this
FURIOUSGAMER 45 Its called Battlestation Midway
great video man, loved your detailed thinking.
The research vessel RV Petrel actually found the Lady Lex along with several of her aircraft in March 2017
Lexington was scuttled and more than 2500 men were saved by the escorts.
awesome vid do more like sinking of hornet and yorktown and yamato this was an awesome vid dude ;)
The Lexington didn’t sink. She’s in Corpus Christi
Shadow Coyote the Lexington in Corpus Christi is not USS Lexington CV-2. The first Lexington that you see in the video did sink. The new Lexington is a different aircraft carrier, just named Lexington.
I was thinking the same thing born and raised in Pensacola I thought this video was an attempt to
Mandela effect me. I didn't realize there were two of them. The Gray Ghost was her Nick name because the Japanese thought that they had sunk her but in fact although badly damaged she remained in the fight.
She is in Texas something I never understood her home is Pensacola the Cradle of Naval Aviation. I think 1987 -1990 was the time period they retired her. Sad for me up until that time I would have rode with her to a fight. She was an awesome sight in Port of Pensacola.
This is another Lexington dude
1 week and 3 days until the winner is announced! Cast ur votes!
Game: Battlestations Midway
A small advise for such videos: for more cinematic effect, please, switch off the interface. :) Great video, nonetheless. :)
+Флоріан Фанта that would be amazing, however there is no know way of disabling it! There is maybe a way to disable ot by going into the game files, however it would be VERY hard to discover. Thank you so much for liking it! Spread the word!
Runsva, I was almost sure I have seen that in the game's settings somewhere...
You are most welcomed for this good work. :)
+Флоріан Фанта hmmmm, that is interesting. If u happen to see that somewhere, dont hesitate to send me the link so i can take a look at it! Thank you again!
This ship is a ship of GTA 5 good reference of 2013
5 days left till the winner is announced! Cast ur votes!
Good job! A well documented video. My only complaint is at the end, you mention the US fleet, their ships, and you mention how many lives were lost to the Japanese, but you don't mention the Japanese fleet, their ships and how many lives they lost to the Americans, it's rather biased, rude and disrespectful if you ask me.
Maybe because they started the war and we won
I was born on May 7th 2012
