Captured on September 5th, 1945, just two days after a devastating attack by Naval Avenger Aircraft, we witness the aftermath of destruction inflicted upon the Kobe Class escort carrier. The image reveals a haunting scene of war's brutal impact. The once mighty vessel now lies broken and battered; her back is shattered, flight deck destroyed, and focsle badly damaged. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave men who fought tirelessly in defense of freedom. This photograph captures not only the physical devastation but also symbolizes resilience and determination. It showcases the unwavering spirit of those who served in both the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Navy during this tumultuous period.
