Estuve viendo la transcripcion del famoso documento birlado de las oficinas de James Bond. Oomparar con el resumen de los daños recibidos por el portaviones Illustrious en el Mediterraneo:
Bomb No 1 hit and destroyed S2 pom-pom but otherwise caused only minor damage in the vicinity of burst.
Bomb No 2 perforated the forward end of the flight deck and passed overboard to explode about 10 feet above the waterline. Extensive splinter damage was caused to compartments near the waterline and many of these were flooded. Splinters also caused a fire in the lamp room.
Bomb No 3 was a direct hit which exploded in the after lift well about 10 to 20 feet below the flight deck. This caused severe damage to the lift structure and electrical equipment.
Bomb No 4 (1000 kgm) perforated the armoured flight deck and exploded about 10 feet above the hangar deck. Serious damage was caused to the forward lift and the surrounding hangar deck structure. The hangar fire curtains were blown away and a serious fire was started in the hangar.
Bomb No 5 was a direct hit at the after end of the after lift so increasing the damage already sustained from Hit No 3.
Bomb No 6 perforated P1 pom-pom platform and passed through the ship and then overboard to strike the side armour without detonating. A fire was started in two mess decks.
Bomb No 7 -possibly 250 kgm- was a direct hit in the after lift well and this completed the destruction of the lift structure.
Bomb No 8 was a near miss off the starboard side. This caused minor damage to the structure and slight flooding.
