Naval Air Force Atlantic highlights the Battle of the Eastern Solomons and the role of USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Saratoga (CV-3) in the Pacific during World War II. The August 1942 battle disrupted Japanese efforts to reinforce Guadalcanal and contributed to the Allied campaign for control of the Solomon Islands. More than eight decades later, the legacy of those carrier forces continues through today’s naval aviation force and its commitment to readiness and warfighting capability.
