The ship that soaked up so many torps before sinking was none other than...
With a carrier, a few destroyers, and maybe a cruiser clustered around it.
I found and exploited a gap in their coverage, but it still took something like 10-12 torps to send her to the bottom.
It wasn't shallow enough there for their ship sitting on the bottom to keep the crew from going swimming.
Can't really argue with that amount of torps, though; IIRC her sister ship took 19 torps and multiple bombs before succumbing.
