Summary

Description
English: Photo taken by an American torpedo bomb of the crippled Japanese heavy cruiser Chokai dead in the water due to a bomb hit down the stack. The destroyer Fujinami is seen assisting the cruiser. She will later remove Chokai's crew and scuttle the ship. However, Fujinami herself was sunk with all hands, including the Chokai survivors, two days later by dive bombers from the aircraft carrier USS Franklin.
