She is also credited with raid on the Axis in Libya, Germany and Italy. She dropped a ½ million pounds of bombs on the Axis, sank a destroyer, a tanker and a merchant vessel. All this without one of the 250 crewmen that served on her being killed or wounded, herself having gone through 19 engines, twice saved from the junk heap and having some 150 flak holes! Her gunners are credited with shooting down 23 Axis fighters.
