Description
English: Crewmen at port side midships 5/25, 20 mm and 40 mm anti-aircraft guns aboard the U.S. Navy light cruiser USS Phoenix (CL-46) strain to identify a plane flying overhead, during the Mindoro invasion, 18 December 1944. This was a time of intense Kamikaze attacks, as the expressions on men's faces indicate. Note whaleboat in the lower left, anti-flash clothing, and floater net enclosed in a bag at right. Phoenix is identifiable by her unique "sprayed" Camouflage Measure 32, Design 5D.
