File talk:Battle of Java Sea - HMS Exeter under Attack.jpg
This photo is incorrectly labelled / captioned.
The photo is not taken during the Battle of the Java Sea (27th Feb 1942) but on the 15th Feb 1942 during the so-called Gasper Strait sortie (and taken from HMAS Hobart, as quoted by reliable sources, which was not present during the Battle of the Java Sea).
The date taken has always been listed with the image on the Australian War Memorial Exeter page ( http://www.awm.gov.au/search/collections/?q=Exeter&conflict=all&submit=Search ) and the Imperial War Museum have altered the details regarding the image on their Exeter page ( http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205086915 ) since this pic was posted here.
Besides, the splashes seen are from bombs, not shells, and there were no bombs dropped on the fleet on 27th.
A correction to the description on the (various) Wiki pages are in order then.
