Two hundred-thirty(230) six hundred pound(600) bombs on a non moving ship that doesn’t shoot back? How many missed? Okayyyyyy

Right, the idea is the same as the idea that a weedy highschooler can KO a pro boxer...as long as the boxer can’t block, dodge, or hit back. Certainly at that point, I don’t believe that the battleship, fully manned, maneuvering and fighting back could have been sunk by aircraft at that time...and any antiaircraft artillery at the time was small arms, a few 3” guns and whatever invective could be thrown.

I think they meant both 230lb and 600lb bombs were dropped. not 230 600lb bombs...
