Yes. She put up a better fight than most of the other ships (according to Frank) and was in a better state of readiness.

Status: offline 		Ture you can see the Hull line, I asumed the fire/smoke was on the deck and above howeaver, and was being blow aft by the wind, if the Hangers were afire then this would acount for the considerable amount of smoke. You can also see how some of the smoke is partialy obscureing even the after hull.
