that's why we did it....now, if they would have hit her in the engineroom, or hit her in the bow or something, she would
have sunk, but they hit her in the number four tank, which is the tank right forward
of the bridge....as long as she didn't got hit in the engine room or bow, she was
allright....the torpedo exploded, but the ship didn't explode....it just put a big hole
in the side....it wasn't that big a hole, because we used mattresses to stuff it
up and block it up...we didn't even need to patch her, because she was already at
sea level....that's what happened....
