Summary
| Description | View of the after 5"/38 twin gun mount of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Franklin (CV-13) burning, as her crew tried to control fires on 19 March 1945. The carrier had been hit by a Japanese air attack while operating off the coast of Japan. Photographed from USS Santa Fe (CL-60), which extinguished the fire in this gun mount by playing streams of water through the mount's open door. Later, the other 5"/38 twin gun mount and the 40 mm quad gun mount (at right) also burned. Note ammunition loaded in the feed racks of the 40mm guns. |
