Take Cover!!

--German commander of the KMS Fuhrer

During 1942, the kreigsmarine sent their 3 ships, the Bismarck, Fuhrer and the tripitz, to the Atlantic. They were planned to intercept merchant shipping of the allies. Britain, who already sank the Bismarck, sent another journey to hunt the fuhrer. Partaking in the hunt, Trent set off in a new aircraft, the marlin. Most of the hunting force was composed of marlins and swordfish.
They succeeded in damaging the ship, but it is still functional. It only sank an hour later when British destroyers neared the Fuhrer and pounded it with torpedos and shells. Trent, who was new to carrier based operations, had an extra damaged marlin with no arresting hook(this is his aircraft). Will he land?
