How many torpedo hits has as ship survived historically?

<t> As the thread title says, what's the maximum number of torpedo hits in ww2 that a ship has survived and still made it back to port and after that, back to service? IIRC there was a thread on the same subject ages ago and IIRC the consensus was that it was a maximum of 2? However my memory is ...

RE: Carriers in the I.O.

You could, perhaps, keep good eyes on and around the place and use it as an opportunity to raid any allied resupply convoys? Keep the KB close just in case he brings escort as well.

It should be rather easy to compare the losses against total production. At least for the british bombers the pools should be very low.

RE: Calcutta is sieged!

Again I'd suggest against taking any further adventures and only finishing the current one. Set up a strong perimiter and wait for your opponent to get bored, cocky and for him to make mistakes. China seems an okay and good option though.

RE: Kuriles Counter Invaded

Hm that 4th aussie cav brigade could have over 170 tanks by now, most of them heavies such as Matildas or M3 Grant/Lee types. He also has a lot of AT weapons there. I don't think you can take that base by brute force alone but must instead starve them out.

RE: Calcutta is sieged!

<t> Aside from securing the approaches to your empire (northern OZ, solomons, perhaps NoPac?) there should be nothing more that you should do. Take the additional time to set your perimiter and dig in. Then, until mid-late 1942 you can use at least a part of your strategic reserve to bash the ...
