How Ark Royal might have endured kamikaze attacks

How might Ark Royal have stood up to kamikaze attack?

Her strong structural flight deck offered more resilience than a wooden deck, but less protection than a purpose-built armored carrier.

Ark Royal's flight deck served as a structural strength deck even though it was not an armored flight deck. That construction should have made it harder for a kamikaze to break through than on a carrier with a wooden deck. It still fell short of the protection built into the Royal Navy's armored carriers. Any particular hit would therefore depend heavily on the aircraft's angle and point of impact.
