The fact that several more DDs took bad hits and could sink as well is also bad. The fact that one CA and 3 Brooklyn class CLs are crippled and could sink is worst of all. You're gonna be real short of escorts and spare surface combatants for awhile.

Given Allied damage control, chances are you are right. I always suspect that any damaged Allied ship that makes it to port will not sink, and I will see it again later. If you want to sink Allied ships as a JFB, you'd better catch them in the middle of nowhere and get several good hits, or just sink them outright.

I disagree. Allied ships sink in port all the time. The fact that the port facilities are damaged significantly here will retard repair of most of these ships that are listed as "sunk". I'll bet that most or all of those so labelled will go down in this case.

Nice shootin' Tex...

You hit an extreme, but don't count on that as a norm.

I've seen 6 go down in day one, but never anywhere close to as many torp hits. Definately way off the curve.

Congrats.. once again.
