You sure it's not the Kraken that is on the other side pushing the ship over?

WTF? It looks like the ship has had its spine bent 45 degrees in one direction and 30 degrees buckling in the center![X(][X(][X(]

Looked up the ship and it was decommissioned in 1946 but not scrapped until 1960 - no mention of severe damage from storm at first glance...

Hermes wasn't a true carrier....she was a British version of a flat roofed car ferry.

[:D] agreed.

As was my ickle poor excuse for a CVL.......you'll be the first to lose a real carrier. Infact Yorktown is lucky she isn't home to sharks already..............

The angle in the photo is a bit misleading. there is a second carrier just behind Lunga Point.

Here is another photo which was taken around the same day.
