Summary

Description The Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku (left center) and (probably) the Japanese aircraft carrier Zuihō (right) under attack by U.S. Navy dive bombers during the Battle off Cape Engaño, 25 October 1944. Both ships appear to be making good speed, indicating that this photo was taken relatively early in the action. Both carriers are emitting heavy smoke. Note the heavy concentration of anti-aircraft shell bursts in lower right and right, and a U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C Helldiver diving in the lower left.
