Edit: Thanking DC Tom in advance for correcting my ignorance. ? Expand She was actually hit by three torpedoes that set off the aviation gas stowage and magazines. Wasp was not a good carrier; she was a diminutive design - a smaller Yorktown, about 5000 tons lighter to fit under treaty limitations, without armor or torpedo protection. And though she was ordered abandoned within half an hour (on fire almost her whole length, and had lost all power so had no firefighting capacity left) she stayed afloat for seven hours, until she was scuttled by three American torpedoes. Even poorly designed capital ships were damned hard to sink. 2 4

These breakthrough research projects range from developing extreme-scale cosmological simulations, discovering new approaches for drug response prediction, and discovering materials for the creation of more efficient organic solar cells. Expand No, it's going to be used to simulate and virtually test new nuclear weapons designs. That's probably what "extreme-scale cosmological simulations" means, in fact. Same equations govern stellar cores and nuclear warheads.
