The damage control crews aboard the Shen Battleship are now extremely busy, trying every possible means to keep their warship alive.
Just moments ago, a 500-kilogram aerial bomb descended from the sky, piercing through the forward deck of their battleship. The massive explosion destroyed the anchor machinery in the front, blew off nearly half of the bow, and caused severe flooding.
A battleship cannot possibly have armor covering its entire hull, as that would leave it with insufficient reserve buoyancy. Therefore, outside the ship's armored belt lies a substantial portion of the hull.
The bow, which houses relatively few critical compartments, is a region with thinner armor. A large bomb strike here dealt damage far worse than anticipated.
