The United States is reeling from the terrible shock of December 7, 1942. In one terrible day, the nation finds itself at war while tending to a horrific wound. While the Navy scrambles to piece together its shattered fleet, one man and his carrier burn with a desire to wreak a terrible vengeance on the Empire of Japan.

Japan’s landed some heavy blows… but it’s time for the next round and this time… America is hitting first! At pearl harbor, the men and pilots of Enterprise stepped into a nightmare.
