Summary

Description

English: Operation "Ten-Go", 7 April 1945: The Japanese light cruiser Yahagi under attack by U.S. planes. At 1246 hrs, during the first wave, a torpedo hit Yahagi directly in her engine room, killing the entire engine room crew and bringing her to a complete stop. One direct hit can be seen bursting on the fantail, as near-misses straddle her. The photo was taken before turret no. 2 was hit by a bomb.
