On damage control an important feature is the fuel lines were filled with carbon dioxide as soon as the attacking planes were seen.
How ironic CO2 saved many lives. I guess now it would be nitrogen. The wood decks were a compromise too. They took plenty with them so they could be repaired. But they didn’t create as lethal shrapnel, but were more easily destroyed.
The NAVY is nothing if not inconsistent.
They had neutered Torpedoes for 2 years but thought this matter out extremely well.
