Randolph is hit, while the second aircraft crashes on Mogmog

One P1Y struck USS Randolph; the other crashed beside a lighted baseball diamond on Mogmog Island, possibly after mistaking the diamond or its access road for a carrier.

Notes

The surviving attackers approached after dark, dropped chaff, and came in low over the water. One struck USS Randolph. The other crashed on Mogmog Island beside a lighted baseball diamond, with accounts differing over whether the crew mistook the diamond or its access road for a carrier. No American servicemen were killed on the island, although several American servicemen were injured by debris and burning fuel.
