Likely:
"Ryuho was attacked by Task Force 58 aircraft on 19 March near Kure,
suffering hits by three 500 lb bombs and two 5.5-inch rockets. The
damage was severe: the flight deck bulged upward between the two elevators,
the No. 1 boiler was punctured by a bomb fragment, the stern settled two
meters into the water, and a raging fire broke out. Twenty crewmen were
killed and 30 were wounded.[5] Upon returning to Kure on 1 April, Ryuho
was considered to be a total loss."
