Warspite's Fritz X damage and concrete repairs

Questions about Warspite's concrete repairs and Fritz X damage qualify the joke about her exceptional survival record.

Question

Did the Fritz X hit cripple Warspite despite her survival?

Short answer

The reply acknowledges a turret put out of action but emphasizes continued movement. It gives only a brief recollection of the damage, alongside an earlier reference to concrete repairs.

Notes

Warspite's survival prompts a distinction between remaining afloat and retaining full fighting capability. An earlier follow-up recalls concrete being used to keep her afloat after damage. When another question asks whether Fritz X crippled her, the reply points to a turret put out of action while insisting she could still move. These are brief recollections offered within a joke about exceptional luck, and do not establish the full damage or repair history.
