CORRECTION: I mirrored the ships (the torpedoes shoot towards the islands, which should have been starboard, however the islands are set to port). It's my mistake, something went wrong during the rendering and I had to re-do the render right before uploading. I should have postponed the video for a week and simply missed a week of uploading, but I only caught the mirroring error after I published the video. It's a shame, the video took a really long time to create and now there's a silly mistake in there with the islands + torpedoes. U.S. carrier islands are always on starboard, not port.

USS Wasp (CV-7) was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier commissioned in 1940, built as a smaller, more vulnerable counterpart to the Yorktown-class. Initially deployed in the Atlantic, she played a vital role in supplying Malta before being transferred to the Pacific in 1942. But her journey was far from over…
