    Are they claiming that this 1 A4 sunk all these ships? Or do they just like to draw pictures on the side of aircraft?

    I'm guessing this particular Skyhawk's "driver" took part in attacks on the specific ships named, much the same as the RAF will keep a tally of raids the aircraft was involved in - for example if four aircraft were in the sortie, but only one scored a hit, all four would notch it as a success.
