dunno, they still have a lot of ships

this is a good ship (she can carry 126 aircraft  with 30 of these in reserve ) with a very very very good pilot ( American submarine  USS Albacore, which had spotted Ozawa's carriers earlier that morning, reached an ideal attack position and fired a spread of six torpedoes at the carrier. One of  Taihō' s strike pilots, Warrant Officer Sakio Komatsu, saw the torpedo wakes, broke formation and deliberately dove his plane into the path of one torpedo; the weapon detonated short of its target [22]  and four of the remaining five missed) with bad luck ( he sixth torpedo, however, found its mark and the resulting explosion holed the carrier's hull on the starboard side, just ahead of the island. The impact also fractured the aviation fuel tanks and jammed the forward elevator between the flight deck and upper hangar deck)
