How much damage could a diver do to a carrier at Norfolk? Those ships are huge and the water depth is very shallow under their berth.

I don't know how much damage could be done but I never considered the damage that could be done with suicide bombers on a raft or in airplanes. I can only say that contemplating the possibilities after I heard about the diver cost me a night or two of sleep!

Significant damage. At least enough damage that the ship would be out of action for a significant amount of time. A whole lot depends upon what munition a diver attached and where specifically the munition was attached.

A ship sunk in 30 feet of water is still not going anywhere anytime soon. It may not be a total loss, but it would be considered along the lines of a mission kill.
