ORIGINAL: Terminus It really is a crap shoot... Remember that the Akagi was hit by exactly ONE bomb at Midway, and that was enough (along with two close misses) to bring her down. It was really bad luck for Japanese you know... It also kind of sucked that the flight deck was full of fueled and loaded planes, along with a bunch of bombs laying around (when the TBs were reloaded with torpedoes). I think you mean hangar deck - the flight decks of all 4 Japanese carriers at Midway were empty (theye were only doing CAP rotations)... Leo "Apollo11"
