The Dauntless was first used against the Japanese Navy during the invasion of the Hawaiian Islands, and with only one bomb, they managed to damage Kaga so she couldn't operate planes. The diver bomber was used again, in the first attempt to retake the islands, where they managed to severely damage the Zuikaku and wound the Akagi. The Japanese pilots called them Hell Divers and thought the planes to be very good.
