Battle of Midway, June 1942
USS Yorktown (CV-5) sinking, just after dawn on 7 June
1942, as seen from an accompanying destroyer.
The ship has capsized to port and is settling rapidly by the
stern, with the speed of her motion perhaps causing the moderate
fuzziness of this image.
This view looks over the ship's upper starboard structure, with
the front edge of the flight deck in the center and her forefoot
visible beyond.
