Summary edit
| Photographer |
U.S. Navy, the photo was taken from the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco (CA-38) |
||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-7), listing and with smoke pouring from oil and gasoline fires caused by three torpedo hits in the starboard side from the Japanese submarine I-19. Her list has been corrected to 4 degrees by transferring oil and her head has been brought round so that the wind blows from the starboard side and drives the smoke off the ship and away from the control areas on the island. All damage control efforts, however, were in vain and she was sunk 400 km north-west of Espiritu Santo. |
