  1.  @Exospray  Wikipedia is not a reliable source. I've read 293 elsewhere. It's not unusual for sources to disagree on these sorts of things. I've seen just above 300 as well. The highest I've seen anywhere is 307 so odds are someone posted the highest number to wiki and that was that. Sort of demonstrates why it's absolutely useless as a source :(. There was a hospital ship at the scene. Which rescued a lot of survivers. That much I can say for certain.

  2.  @ChibiBritishDwarf  did she have an armoured flight deck? If so I imagine the bombs of the 40s would be very different to those of the 20s?

  3. Not far off. Shows how quick technology advanced when it came to carriers

  4.  @damedusa5107  what's your source? I've read 293 men. There was a hospital ship at the scene. The Vito or vita I think. It was responsible for rescuing survivors from hermes and other ships.
