@ B_A

Well, now I'm curious. Whassup with the elevator?

I actually enjoyed reading about this hidden history lesson...

Although im not much of a war buff...

"At this point in the war, naval anti-aircraft fire was more impressive than effective. The first two bombers to attack were blown to pieces by Yorktown's 1.1-inch anti-aircraft guns, yet the first landed its 242-kg bomb just aft the carrier's No. 2 elevator, while the second scored a near miss, spraying the stern with splinters and starting fires. Several near misses followed, before one lucky hit detonated deep in uptakes for the ship's boilers. This blow instantly reduced Yorktown to a single operable boiler, and she slowed rapidly, vitally damaged by enemy bombs for the second time in less than a month."

Sure you want me delete? We can always use another "random thread about nothing" in ABF

Saw a quote in Readers Digest I thought was funny:

" I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables."

Actually my question was why the no. elevator was offset from no. 1 and 3

just realized this. I was thinking it had to do with the guns on the port side.

But like I said for some reason I came into here and asked the question. I have no clue why or how.

and I did not know I could delete my own thread, so this thread is useful... I LEARNED SOMETHING1 :thumb::thumb:

2 thumbs up for you B4
