| Description |
English: U.S. Navy sailor W.R. Martin points out details of the Japanese trophy flags painted on the pilothouse of the light cruiser USS Boise (CL-47) as a scoreboard of enemy ships claimed sunk in the Battle of Cape Esperance, 11-12 October 1942. The six Japanese ships (two heavy cruisers, a light cruiser and three destroyers) represented in this scoreboard greatly overstates the actual enemy losses, which were one heavy cruiser (Furutaka) and one destroyer (Fubuki) sunk and one heavy cruiser (Aoba) badly damaged. This overclaiming was typical of contemporary night surface actions. The photo was taken at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Pennsylvania (USA), soon after Boise arrived there for battle damage repairs in November 1942. |
