During the battle of Okinawa we lost about 30 ships due to “one getting through”.

They were damaged, repaired and almost everyone returned to the fleet with the USS Franklin being a prime example of damage control and repair.

No, all were not repaired and returned to the fleet.

36 were sunk, including 12 destroyers. 386 were damaged.

With the limited staffing of ships now there aren’t enough crew to perform damage control.
