Summary[edit]

Description A Japanese plane crashes near the stern of a U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier, during an unsuccessful kamikaze attack, 17 April 1945. As the photo was taken from the battleship USS South Dakota (BB-57) the carrier is most probably USS Bataan (CVL-29), as South Dakota and Bataan were assigned to Task Group 58.3 (and Bataan was the only CVL assigned to TG 58.3).
