 For the remainder of the day, Japanese air power was directed almost singly on "Enterprise", with VF-6 scrambling to knock as many bombers off course and out of the sky as possible.By the end of action on 24 August, the fighter squadron claimed 13 Aichi 99 dive bombers and 10 Nagoya Zeros, among other miscellaneous aircraft.Due to extensive damage from the Japanese bombing run, "Enterprise" was forced to retire to berth in the Tonga Islands, steaming steadily in that direction until it arrived 30 August 1942.
