Now the picture makes sense, one carrier in foreground pitching bow down into the waves with a second carrier to the rear, the photo angle makes it look like ONE carrier split in two. - which is why I said FAKE - as the carrier Lunga Point had NO RECORD of that damage listed under her records. Nice to see this cleared up too
