Lingayen Operation, January 1945


A Japanese plane makes a suicide attack on a Bagley class destroyer, west of the Philippines on 5 January 1945. The ship is probably USS Helm (DD-388), which was slightly damaged by a "Kamikaze" on that date. Note anti-aircraft shell bursts in the vicinity.
Photographed by USS Steamer Bay (CVE-87).
