I know that she did take extensive damage during her stay in Sicily. My late grandfather, a captain of one of the anti-aircraft guns, told me that they took three direct hits, one of which destroyed the sickbay - appallingly ironic as they had just filled it with wounded from a hospital ship that had been hit. There were many killed as my grandfather said there were bodies everywhere, some of which were his friends. It did make it back home but what became of her after that he coudn't say.
