Probably beating a dead horse now but here goes:

I've seen an allied fleet carrier take two torpedo hits with ammo explosion. The ammo that exploded was light caliber ammunition and the ship only suffered around 30 systems and 10 major float damage.. It was burning in its 30s and moved to a level 3 port with around a hundred naval support....

Five turns later she was scuttled with fire raging around a stable 70 but system damage now high 80s and only trending up....

I've seen a fleet carrier take several penetrating 500 kg bomb hits and torpedo hits but making port with major float around 60, system damage around 60... She was back in the war a few months later...

In the same game, I've had Saratoga hit by 4 torpedoes and 6 250kg AP bombs the same day, still launched aircrafts the next day, then took 2 more torpedoes and 3 bombs. Limped back to PH, a few months repair yards and she was back in action.

Six months later, she took a single torpedo, fires raged over a week, and she sank 120 nm from the closest harbour (where I had sent a few repair ships).

Randomness...

This definitely can happen, it's just unlikely for the Allies.

Was it December 1941/January 1942 Lexington?

That ship seems to love fires.

Hey LoBaron! Based on the visual clues, my assessment is that your doghouse is going dowwwwwwwn!

I do agree that setting glide angle to best glide is advisable given the circumstances.

No.

Snoopy and the Red Baron have a date in destiny. Fear not, Snoopy will shoot down the Red Baron.

Right. Not every forced landing needs to be fatal.

Obviously this applies to deliberate landings as well.
