[Black Aeronaut]

Edit:  One thought I want to add -- the scenes of chaos aboard the ship, and then abruptly it's fully battle-ready, reminded me of a newspaper column I read long, long ago.  The columnist was talking about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and said (approximate quote):

In nearly every episode, somebody, usually an invisible monster from outer space, drops an atomic bomb on the sub, and all heck breaks loose. 
The sub tumbles, end over end...  [Description of equipment tearing loose from walls, fires breaking out, etc.]  Somebody yells, "Close the crash wall!" but not before the invisible monsters invade the ship and kill half the crew.
In the midst of all this carnage, Captain Crane, obviously mortally wounded, crawls to an intercom and asks briskly, "Engine Room, how soon can we be repaired and under way?"
"In about ten minutes," comes the reply from the engine room, where they have evidently been holding a psychedelic dance and haven't noticed that the sub was just a-bombed....
Now this is utter nonsense.  There is six months work to be done on that sub, if they can even raise it from the bottom of the ocean.  As the French would say, It is to laugh.

As I said, this is an approximate quote -- but I found it so funny and memorable when I read it all those years ago that I'm pretty sure it's very close .

Here's the funny thing.  If an Arleigh Burke-class DDG is cruising under material condition modified-Zebra (most fittings closed, some left open for convenience and comfort), they can go to being Zebra (all fittings closed, saved for vital ventilation) inside of six or seven minutes.  Four if they're real good.
Now, I can't say exactly what one can tank, but I will say that it's enough to make you go bug-eyed, screaming, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!?"  And this is just a destroyer.  So long as they don't take a torpedo, a destroyer can tank heinous amounts of damage before they give up the ghost.
Now, apply this to a BATTLESHIP.  Which has more than a foot of armor in the vital spots.  Yeah, I can believe that the Yamato just tanked three direct hits.  And they were honest in showing that they were licking their wounds for a while there.  (Feel bad for the crewmen that got caught in the flooding... sub-zero fluid wash = not a fun way to go.)  The idea they were battle ready in however much time they spent playing dead?  Which was in all likely hood a good hour...  Yeah, I can believe it.
