I'm just telling you what a lot of people actually fighting right in that area though at the time, my father being one of them.
And my dad knew quite a bit about engines in boats because he operated landing craft during Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Florida Island, Tanambogo, and Gavutu Islands campaign.
That is a big hole. I definitely would not have wanted to be on the damage control team trying to patch that hole. I was in the Navy over 20 years ago.

Interesting picture of ship he was on when it was torpedoed. Some hole huh? http://www.navsource.org/archives/10/02/100200914.jpg
