How long was Zuikaku out of action for retraining?

[edit] A confusing passage

Towards the end of this article appears this statement:

Zuikaku rolled over and sank at 14:14, taking Captain Kaizuka Takeo and 842 men with her. 862 men were rescued by Wakatsuki and Kuwa.

At first glance, I thought someone had editted this to mean that the carrier, her captain & 842 men went into the water, but 862 came out! Unless this ship was very undermanned, should one assume what is meant was that of the compliment of 1,660 (per the infobox near the top), 842 drowned & 862 were rescued? -- llywrch 21:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

When a ship is said to "take [men] with her," that's an idiom that means the men were lost in the ship's sinking. --Tkynerd 14:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Looking at the picture showing the ship listing, I noticed the description says she lists to port (left), when she is clearly listing the starboard (right). I would change this, but can't at the moment since it is a featured article. Rifleman000 00:44, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Unless the picture is taken facing aft. PvtDeth 11:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

It appears to be towards the stern; reference the antenna-like stuff visibe in it to the image at the top of the article. mdf 11:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
