I've thought in past the English term 'major damage' in translated accounts of JNAF reports might correspond to 大破. But I wonder how correct that is, given that it's apparently also a normal word in Japanese meaning wreck or ruin. Anyway aside from pure translation issue is there evidence either way what it really meant, in terms of say how likely a 大破'ed plane was to return to service?
