English: Imperial Japanese Navy battleship Fusō (foreground) under air attack by United States Navy carrier aircraft hours before the Battle of Surigao Strait during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Fusō was damaged by several bomb hits during this attack. Bruning identifies the ship in the background as battleship Yamashiro but Anthony Tully in his book, The Battle of Surigao Strait (University of Indiana Press, 2009), p. 138, appears to identify the ship in the background (from a different but similar photograph) as the heavy cruiser Mogami. The U.S. Navy caption in the December 1944 All Hands magazine, p. 80, gives the following description: "Jap battleships Yamashiro (foreground) and Fuso maneuver in the Sulu Sea under attack by our carrier aircraft shortly before both were sunk in the Second Battle of the Philippines." |
