Японец под бомбами
Нашел одно ранее (мне) неизвестное фото японского эсминца гибнущего под американскими бомбами. Фото было найдено в альбоме с фотографиями американской авиации действовавшей в районе Port Moresby. Я в японцах разбираюсь плохо, но если я правильно понимаю это IJN Arashio Это IJN Tokitsukaze (большое спасибо
midnike за исследование) гибнущий в Bismarck Sea 4го марта 1943го года. На фото хорошо видно что попадания точно были в носовую надстройку, а так же кажется что кормовая надстройка и башня на ней выгорели.

Сильно кликабельно.

- 0809 TOKITSUKAZE is struck by one or more skip bombs in starboard side that floods the starboard engine rooms. (Apparently shatters the centerline bulkhead, as port floods too.). Goes dead in the water and becomes unnavigable. She begins to list to starboard and settle in the water. However TOKITSUKAZE is floating on an even keel and in little danger of sinking.
4 March:
- 0710 The derelict TOKITSUKAZE is bombed by a single B-25 [65th Bomb Squadron] which drops two 500-pound bombs. One scores a direct hit near the bridge, confirmed by a famous photograph. The destroyer is still upright but the fantail is coming awash. Even after this hit, she does not settle much further. [2]
- A Japanese plane of the 253rd Air Group searching for survivors sights TOKITSUKAZE still afloat, "listing to starboard." To finish her off and prevent capture, Nine dive-bombers and fourteen fighters are launched. They bomb TOKITSUKAZE around midday, but still fail to sink her. [3]
Sunk:
- 1350 Nine B-25s attack TOKITSUKAZE making runs from starboard to port. Hits are scored that finally sink the derelict. TOKITSUKAZE sinks in Huon Gulf 55 miles southeast of Finschhafen (07-15 S, 148-15 E).
