The aircraft looked something like this...

AH! I had it in my mind it was a carrier plane.

Oh well, give me 1/2 credit and I'll keep the beer and ale flowing.

OK then I'll ask another, while we are on the subject of Aircraft Carriers in the Pacific/Indian Ocean theaters, since the British carried out the first (unsuccessful) attack on a Japanese aircraft carrier,

(my question)
What was the first Japanese or American Aircraft Carrier to actually be HIT by a bombing or torpedo attack? What was the aircraft that carried it out?

Hey has nobody figured this one out? I'll give a hint, it was an American aircraft but not a carrier-based TB or SB aircraft.....

USS Langley Mitsubishi G4m

I think the Langley was no longer an aircraft carrier by 1941, it had been converted to seaplane carrier, AV-3

It was US aircraft that bombed and damaged this Aircraft Carrier, about 2.5 weeks before Midway.

The leader of the squadron later went on to become commander of the 8th Air force....

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
