It's interesting to me that it took so much to sink her.
I was surprised when the UDT guy went below decks to set the scuttling
charge.
Not sure I'd be willing to go below decks on a ship that damaged.
Fun Fact: Contrary to what they show you in the Midway movies, the USS Yorktown was finally sunk the day after the battle of Midway was over by a Japanese Submarine.
