Summary

Description

The Japanese destroyer Harusame, photographed through the periscope ot the U.S. Navy submarine USS Wahoo (SS-238) after she had been torpedoed by the submarine near Wewak, New Guinea, on 24 January 1943. Harusame's back is clearly broken, but she was repaired and returned to service despite this heavy damage.

Wartime intelligence evaluated this photo as showing one of the Asashio-class (see Photographic Intelligence Report # 82, 17 March 1943). However, the ship's bridge structure identifies her as a Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, with the # 2 (single) 5 gun mount removed.
