Colin P. Kelly, Jr.'s B-17 dropped their bombs on the largest ship (which they thought was Haruna but in fact was the heavy cruiser Ashigara).

Haruna and Ashigara, both named for extinct volcanoes in Japan, survived almost until the end of the war. Ashigara was torpedoed by a British sub in June, 1945, and Haruna was sunk at anchor by US bombers in late July of that year.

Colin Kelly was born in the same town as my Father, Madison, FL. The stories ran all the way from sank a battleship, to did no damage at all.
