  4.  @janosczinder  Ranger did go to the Pacific in 1944. it was used in a training role in Hawaii and San Diego till end of the war. As to the lack of combat? Torpedo protection was weak, limits on air group size, Weight of new planes required new elevators. Had no torpedo storage originally. Refits fixed some issues, but the Newer CV's were available.

  6.  @communismbad6236  https://youtu.be/Li2Kt4DtUdY a tank is a single compartment with men and ammo. A ship is compartmentalized and has voids and tanks. All you're doing is punching a small hole into possibly a broom closet or a other watertight space. On a tank, that explosive is going to enter the compartment and take out the crew. You need to cause large holes to cause flooding.....
