		Only one carrier, HMS INDEFATIGABLE, received a direct hit on the armoured flight deck, and although casualties were sustained, aircraft were able to land-on again within an hour, a considerable contrast with US carriers which were always more seriously damaged because they only had wooden flight decks.
