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, capsized to port, is settling rapidly by the stern,
with the speed of her motion perhaps causing the extreme fuzziness
of this image.
This view looks over the ship's upper starboard structure, with
the front edge of the flight deck and her bow in the center.
