Original caption from a captured Japanese photo 'Thanks to the blessing of heaven and the aid of the gods, the sky opened up suddenly over the Hawaiian Naval Base of Pearl Harbor and below our eyes were ranged in rows the enemy's capital ships... Our Sea Eagles' determined attack had already opened, and a column of water from a direct torpedo hit on a MARYLAND class is rising. On the surface of the water concentric waves are traced by the direct torpedo hits, while murky crude oil flows out. The three bright streaks between the waves are the torpedo tracks. In the distance the conflagration at the Hickam Airfield Hangers is seen.' Released by US Navy
