Even if that German Stuka that crashed into its deck had a mortal effect on the vessel I don't think it would have caused a drastic alteration in the outcome of the North Africa campaign. In fact, I think the Teja and Totilla making it out of Crimea intact would have caused more trouble.
My grandfather, Sverre Petersen was captain of the Ohio, Nice going gramps
Your Grandfather was Master of Ohio but not during Operation Pedestal, he was replaced by Capt Dudley Mason just before the convoy sailed.
INCREDIBLE BRAVERY.....EXTRAORDINARY...
