Beautiful diorama but a sad event for the RN and the West.

Nice model, but not as historically accurate as it could be. When hit, Ark Royal was turning sharply to starboard (and therefore heeling to port). Because of the port heel, which raised the starboard side above the normal water line, the torpedo hit largely below the torpedo protection system. (According to several sources, including D.K. Brown, "Nelson to Vanguard").

No Swordfish on the deck is an error also. Several were placed forward when hit. The water spout of the explosion is clever though.
