Even the Yorktown shows how tough it is to sink a carrier. The Japanese had to sink it twice before she would stay down.

Verses the Japanese carriers during the Battle of Midway; they went down like right now. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w30FkSXyTE

Japs “sank” Yorktown thrice. They got in TWO separate air attacks at Midway; she was returned to duty within hours of the first one. The second air attack put her out of commission and under tow back to Pearl. The submarine torpedo attack finally sent her to the bottom. If you count the damage at Coral Sea, the Japs “sank” her four times.
