Description Japanese Type 97 Shipboard Attack Aircraft ("Kate") wrecked on Indispensable Reef, at the time it was inspected by a Patrol Squadron 71 crew, 9 June 1942. The plane is from the Japanese aircraft carrier Shokaku and bears the tail marking "EI-306". The aircraft was one of two that sighted the US Navy ships Neosho (oiler) and Sims (destroyer) on May 7 during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Running low on fuel, the aircraft ditched on the reef and the crew was rescued by a Japanese destroyer the same day.
