View on the upper deck of the Japanese light cruiser Kitakami In the photo are the racks for transporting the suicide Kaiten torpedoes. One such torpedo is visible in the background.
The Kitakami basin was transformed into a ship-to take the human Kaiten torpedoes in the spring of 1944 combat operations since then did not participate in any.
practicing the Launching of the Japanese human Kaiten torpedoes from the light cruiser Kitakami.

Could the two men in khaki uniforms be photographers? The one on the deck appears to hold a camera and the one on the equipment is holding hes ears.

Some stunning photo's there.
U290 obviously had a lucky escape to survive that, presumably rocket strike. The holes are too large for a 6pd.

The date can't be right. Germans didn't sell H-75s to Finland until 1941. Also the camo scheme is for later in the war. The H-75s arrived from Germany in overall RLM 71 or RLM 70, with RLM 65 undersides.

The captured Norwegian Hawk 75A-6s were sold to Finland in October 1940.
Captured French Hawk 75A-1s were sold to Finland in June 1941.

Yes, but they didn't end up with LLv 32 until after the Continuation War started. The first Hawks (13 H-75A-6 and 7 H-75A-4) were issued to Recon units LLv 14 and LLv 16.

Don't think the ship is a battle. No wake showing and to many sailors standing around.
