This begs the question then, how should ships in WitP be sunk?

Well actually to the best of my knowledge the bombs on Franklin did not cause any floatation damage, it was only the fire fighting water and as such it was an absolutely controlled flooding, albeit very high in the ships (in the hangar).

Well, for that matter - torps are also. One torpedo is generally not going to put down a transport, whereas it generally was quickly fatal IRL (at least in the first part of the war, before the Allies started shock-mounting equipment.) Similarly, we will see CAs getting away with 3 torp hits - unheard of in WW2 for CAs. AFAIK, all (but maybe 2 ships) at sea never made it back to port after being hit by more than 2 (working) torps.
Admittedly, ships often did not sink after 3 torps, but couldn't get back to port because they couldn't be towed that fast (back to towing speeds again.) Follow-up attacks would generally sink the cripple before it could get out of danger.

I agree with wdolson. US torpedoes should have their effect halved until late in war.
(A JFB sarcasm)

I do notice on spence's website that most transports where sunk by a SINGLE aerial torpedo......
Try this in WITP, almost all transports will live when hit in port by a single torp, heck, even at SEA most survive a single hit....

ORIGINAL: spence
I was wondering if the IJN had any large fleet tugs like the USN and started poking around on the web (without much success).
Came across one fairly small (~50 shorter than a USN ATF) tug at the following site:
http://www.seawolfproductions.com/Shipwreck%20Museum/Truk%20Lagoon/index.html
Although the tug info was not really what I was looking for there are a lot of neat photos (then and now), drawings and descriptions of the carrier raids on Truk in early 1944 for anyone that's interested.
.
! And I'm fairly sure no half sane DC officer would let in so much water os as to risk a capsizing...Code: Select all
