Here's a interesting picture of the US heavy cruiser
New Orleans with 120 feet of her bow missing, all the way back to turret number two.
The damage was caused by Japanese torpedoes during the Battle of Tassafaronga. The damage was patched with coconut tree logs and she limped her way back to port for repairs. I was curious as to whether anyone had seen ships in SH4 get their bows or sterns blown off and stay afloat and get back underway. :hmm:
