After being damaged in battle, the vessel was able to return to service at record speed, which allowed its crew to play a decisive role in the engagement with the Japanese. Unfortunately, on June 7, 1942, the ship was sunk following an attack by a Japanese submarine.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eThe Trumpeter 03711 model\u003c\/strong\u003e features detailed representations of the superstructure, flight deck, and numerous details.
