A view of the Japanese destroyer Yamakaze through the periscope of the submarine USS Nautilus, after being torpedoed approximately 60 nautical miles (110 km) southeast of Yokosuka, Japan. The Shiratsuyu-class destroyer, which had been traveling independently from Ōminato towards the Inland Sea, sank with all hands. Yamakaze had previously been involved in battles at Tarakan (1942), Java Sea (1942), and Midway (1942), sinking one submarine and assisting in the sinking of two ships.Photograph: United States Navy
