| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CV-2) underway during the Battle of the Coral Sea, 8 May 1942. This view appears to have been taken in the early afternoon, about 1430 hrs, after the planes of VT-2 and escort had been recovered and initial damage control measures had been effected, but before the start of the fires that led to the ship's loss. This is the last known photograph of Lexington in operational condition. Note she is already down by the bow after being torpedoed. The photo was taken from the heavy cruiser USS Portland (CA-33). |
