The Price Of Admiralty, written by the usually well-regarded, said that the
Kaga was hit by three torpedoes from
Nautilus, which all exploded and broke the carrier in half.
The bizarre thing is, the book was written in 1989, years after everyone already knew the true fate of the
Kaga and that
Nautilus's attack was a failure. I don't know how
that little blunder got in there!
