Looks to be an SC1000 "Hermann". Steel rope around base has been used to pull it out of somewhere. Hole is where fuse has been removed.

That's it. What if no oil but intact aircraft carriers?

Probably would hadn't change the end result but surely a delay in it. Maybe no Coral Sea, Midway and Guadalcanal as it was.

Thanks Jim.
Shori Arai(1895-1972) stayed on a aircraft carrier in Truk Island in 1943 as a military painter.
On the first day he arrived, he did not notice his old friend there but looked awkward accompanied with an IJN officer to Michitaro Takeda(1906-1997) as also a military journalist from Asahi Shinbun.
Takeda: Hey! Aren't you Arai-san?
Arai: .....Oh, Takeda-san. I have met a Buddha in hell!
Officer: Hell? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha........HA HA HA
