This is all from three bombs to hit the ship... All these damages were done during
the Eastern Solomons.... I could give links to PLENTY more pictures of battle damage
done by dive bombers and kamikaze attacks to other ships as well, If you, or
anyone, want/s to take a look at them just tell me and I will give you the links....

BTW, here is a cool vidoe clip showing Enterprise in action during battle and
returning to Pearl Harbor...

wow nice pics

bump...

come on ppl this can be an intresting idea here...

Here are some pictures of damage done to the Enterprise (CV6) during her combat in the Pacific, and of Hiryu at Midway

*Note* The picture below is just after a Kamikaze with a bomb hit the Enterprise

*Note* This is an awesome shot of the damage done to Hiryu at Midway.
http://cv6.org/noumea/default.asp?uri=detail/nhc-img-nh73065

*Note* This is a Bomb that exploded on impact, rather then penetrating the deck. This is also a famous shot, and as you might tell Photographers Mate Second Class Robert Reid died because of this bomb... Pretty cool picture though.

So in the top on you have a Kamikaze blowing the elevator 400 feet high, and against popular belief the Kamikaze plane itself did very little damage to the lower decks, however because of the sudden stop of the planes forward movement the bomb still had the same effect as if it was dropped from a DBer...

The middle one shows you a cool picture of a Japanese CV at Midway with severe damage due to DBers...


And lastly what happens the split second a bomb explodes on deck...

Sounds intresting, but if we did that we should do it for torps gun rounds ect. To technical in my mind.
