花先

该级舰标准排水量接近三万吨，机库升降机等安排合理，作战反应迅速。防护设计和损管手段优秀，没有一艘被击沉。曾经有一艘被打成重伤，舵的功能大部分失去，临时装了个帆开回了珍珠港.

It is USS Intrepid.....

The night of 17 February 1944 an aerial torpedo struck Intrepid's starboard quarter, 15 feet below her waterline, flooding several compartments and jamming her rudder hard to port. By racing her port screw and idling her starboard engine, Captain Thomas L. Sprague kept her on course until two days later strong winds swung her back and forth and tended to weathercock her with her bow pointed toward Tokyo. Sprague later confessed: "Right then I wasn't interested in going in that direction." At this point the crew fashioned a jury-rig sail of hatch covers and scrap canvas which swung Intrepid about and held her on course. Decorated by her crazy-quilt sail, the carrier stood into Pearl Harbor 24 February 1944.
