The "skin" looks 3/4 or even 1 inch thick and it doesn't seem there are any internal supports. I realize they worked pretty damn well but it just seems clunky.

The greater threats are the planes at Nagasaki, the WJD carriers (not yet spotted) and Kirishima.

There are a lot more if you include transports and subs and smaller escorts.

Do they have the same durability as the B-24D1?
