A small seaplane tender, Avocet was moored south of California, near the Naval Air Station dock. Quickly opening fire at the start of the attack she shot down a Kate that had just launched a torpedo at California; this aircraft burst into flames and crashed near the Naval Hospital. Avocet received little-to-no attention from the Japanese and survived the attack undamaged. |
