This photo shows the launching of the Japanese carrier Shōkaku from at
Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, Japan, on this day in 1939. Two and a half years
later she would take part in the Pearl Harbor attack. She would go on to
see action at the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Battle of the Santa Cruz
Islands, before being torpedoed and sunk by the U.S. submarine USS Cavalla
(SS-244) at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944. Thanks to the
TORA TORA TORA Facebook page for this info.
