1. Below the bridge?

(Bridge of this ship was deck level.)

2. Man one of four 20mm guns? Ship is listed as having 1 3”/50 and 1 40mm.

3. 4 fatalities? Record shows only 3.

Have to say though - a ship this small taking two kamakazi hits - and staying afloat with only 3 fatalities - a miracle of sorts.
