"Sole Survivor" As he floated in the water, he witnessed the Akagi burning furiously for hours. I think SBD Pilot. Dick Best's bomb made the fatal hit before 10 AM. Akagi burned non stop for well over 12 hours before being scuttled. I'm guessing anything on top of the converted Battleship hull was badly compromised.
