Summary

[edit]
Description The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Peary (DD-226) exploding after Japanese dive bombers scored five direct hits during the first Japanese air raid on Darwin, Australia, on 19 February 1942. The first bomb exploded on the fantail, the second, an incendiary, on the galley deck house; the third did not explode; the fourth hit forward and set off the forward ammunition magazines; the fifth, another incendiary, exploded in the after engine room. A .30 caliber machine gun on the after deck house and a .50 caliber machine gun on the galley deck house fired until the last enemy plane flew away. Peary suffered 88 men killed and 13 wounded; she sank stern first.
