    I disagree with the caption. RYUJO was hit by bombs and a torpedo from SBDs and Avengers and was immobilized by progressive flooding. The high-level bombers clearly got no hits - you can see that from this picture. See the TROM here:

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
