Dive bombers fired torpedoes which sank her shortly after impact.There are six holds and one can see gun platforms on the bow and stern, and pairs adjacent to holds one, two and five. Hold two is penetrable from doors between decks or the bomb hole. The bridge is damaged but can still be explored and the lower levels here lead out to hold four. One can also see torpedo launchers on the rear hold.
