Struck by 2 kamikaze planes and set alight. I seem to have a cropped version, as there’s one with a destroyer on the right side.

Anyway, like most kamikaze accounts, it’s hard to believe so few planes (just 2 plane crashes) can do such tremendous damage and sometimes bring down massive ships built to withstand hits from large caliber guns.

    The crew suffered heavy casualties but the ship didn’t sink, although it was crippled and never fought again.

    (I’m not saying OP doesn’t know that; I just think it might be interesting to other people.)
