If the magazines were the aimpoint (with Google handy so that the WSO could look it up for each ship) then the chances of sinking with a single bomb goes up. Otherwise, a hit aft could put all four screws and possibly rudders out of service. The ships killed at Midway were caught with all manner of munitions and avgas available to help things along because of the conflict between finishing off the Midway garrison and killing the US carriers. It's unlikely that the Pearl Harbor strike would be that sloppy. I'd put the initial LGB hit aft, so that it takes out the landing area - almost as good as killing the CVs would be killing most of the Kido Butai. After all the Japanese were distinctly average after their seasoned pilots were lost. Peter Kemp
