The deployed main-caliber turrets, armed with 356-mm cannons, testify to the training of their teams. In December 1941, the battleship Hiei along with the same type of "Kirishima" will participate in the cover of the carrier unit, struck at Pearl Harbor.

Balham Tube station London
At 20:02 on 14 October 1940, a 1400 kg semi-armour piercing fragmentation bomb fell on the road above the northern end of the platform tunnels, creating a large crater into which a double decker bus then crashed, although no one aboard was killed . The dramatic spectacle of the trapped bus was to become emblematic of the dangers of the Blitz, a series of pictures of it appeared in publications around the world.

The northbound platform tunnel partially collapsed and was filled with earth and water from the fractured water mains and sewers above, which also flowed through the cross-passages into the southbound platform tunnel, with the flooding and debris reaching to within 91 meters of Clapham South. Water-tight doors designed to keep such floods out instead kept this one in. The lights fused, adding to the chaos. The station was a scene of panic, and though more than 400 managed to escape, 65 or by some account 68 people died in the disaster, most of them drowning.

Nice shot of a Mustang Mk 1. I assume this is after they deployed to France following the Normandy invasion.

I believe this is a Apache, note the gun under the nose and the two landing lights on the left wing.

The USS Shaw was a destroyer. This photo is of USS Arizona.

The last photo is of the USS Shaw exploding.

I had my head up my butt. Sorry.

I think the reason for misleading are the captions of both shots. Just Johnbr has swapped them. The first image shows the USS Arizona indeed while the second one presents the moment the USS Shaw exploded. Here another shot of the USS Shaw exploding and her appearance after the attack.

Thank you for clearing that up Wurger. Much appreciated sir.
