Скачать или смотреть Lady Lex: The Ship That Saved Midway

The Battle of the Coral Sea, a pivotal clash in the Pacific War, is often overshadowed by Midway. But this first-ever carrier-on-carrier battle was a turning point, and the story of the USS Lexington, a formidable aircraft carrier nicknamed "Lady Lex," is a key part of the narrative.

This video dives into the history of the Lexington, from its initial design as a battlecruiser to its transformation into a pioneering aircraft carrier. We'll explore its pre-war humanitarian efforts and then set sail for the Coral Sea in May 1942.
