That would drive me crazy. Blasted machines!

My sympathies. I'm having problems too; not sure why. Blasted machines!!

IMO, it is certainly possible. 300 lbs.+ high explosives, going off may not be able to pulverize the hull, but it can rupture fuel tanks and start fires, which on a carrier, is the biggest danger. You probably got lucky and rolled a "critical hit".

The HMS Ark Royal was also sunk by one torpedo:

and that was a modern carrier, so it is possible.

The problem comes from the fact that Carriers were high priority target so a skipper spotted one, he would fire a full spread, both the Shokaku and the Shinano were hit by 4, but that does not mean you needed 4 to do the job.

OTOH, Hiyo was hit by 2 torps in 43 and survived.

I've complained to Duke Power. Perfect sunny day, power goes on and off several times in about 12 seconds. Blew the panel on the HVAC system as well. Guy was working on the big green box behind my house. Even with surge protectors, boom, but think because he kept surging over and over.

I'm sure they'll offer to pay for damage...:haha:
