    I'd be happy to scan in a couple pages if you need them.

    The ship in question will PROBABLY be the USS Canberra if that helps find the picture. It's the only one I know of to be hit by a torpedo.

    safe-for-work-and-young-minds? I'm pretty sure it's you old-timers that need protection from the young-minds thoughts! :)

    I've got that book & can't find the photo in question. Canberra's damage is noted in text. The only 2 photos of her are post-conversion to a CAG, then back to a CA.

    Regardless, though, consider the purpose of the structure. It's not a box, to enclose something; it's basically a beam, & should be expected to be about as thick as the rudder.
