On 7 December 1941.
Flight l9, a training squadron of USN (Avenger) torpedo bombers. planes of this type successfully sunk Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway, so were a combat-ready craft.
battleship, you have to give numerical coordinates in order to sink opponents ships
It was before War was declared.
The battleship USS Nevada was the only one to get up steam and sail towards the harbor's mouth. However, she was hit too many times and began to sink while under way; the battleship's commander ordered her beached so she would NOT sink and block the harbor's entrance.
Depends of what ship you're trying to sink. They range from 1 square to 8 squares.
To use "sink" as a verb, it typically refers to the action of something gradually moving downward or descending into a lower position or level. For example, "He watched the ship sink beneath the waves" or "The heavy rock sank to the bottom of the pond."
the water level would sink. Anything that sinks into the water would cause the water level to sink
Japanese suicide bombers, known as kamikaze pilots, played a significant role in Japan's military strategy during World War II. Despite their relatively small numbers, kamikaze attacks inflicted significant damage on Allied ships and boosted Japanese morale. However, in the wider context of the war, their impact on the overall outcome was limited and did not change the tide of the conflict.
The NEED to sink ships without being sunk itself (the need to sink ships without being seen). Prior to the sub, in order to sink an enemy vessel (other than my mines) was to "build another ship just like the enemies-and slug it out with them." To do battle; thus the "battleship." But, battleships were very expensive and took many months (or years) to build; and they consumed a very large amount of material (resources). A nation could build dozens of subs from the material required to build just one battleship; and at less cost! Which is why Germany in both World Wars chose that route. Then, after a country (nation) went through the trouble and finances of building a battleship, it took (in less there was a lucky shot) HUNDREDs of main gun shells to sink another battleship. Each one of those shells was equal to one aerial bomb dropped by an airplane; AGAIN, very expensive! But a sub, with just one $1,000 to $6,000 dollar torpedo, could sink a battleship...and do it WITHOUT being seen (thus not struck by enemy shells). Although, in reality, it often took more than one torpedo, usually two or three ($2,000 to $12,000 to sink one battleship). But still, a lot cheaper than 100 shells (each worth about a grand).
One Japanese I-Boat (Submarine) managed to sink one fleet aircraft carrier (USS Wasp), damage one new battleship (USS North Carolina), and damage a destroyer which later sank (USS O'Brian) from ONE TORPEDO SALVO.
All by itself, the 'mass' of an object ... the amount of material in it ... doesn't tell you anything about whether it will sink or float. An AlkaSeltzer tablet and a large boulder both sink, but a duck and a large steel battleship both float. There must be more to it.
