B-17 worked ok but it took until late 1942 when the 5th Airforce in the Pacific figured out how to do low level skip bombing with them. At high level trying to hit ships was a waste of effort. As far as I know they never hit a ship that way

Well at the Battle of Midway, they didn’t score any hits.
