The loss of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse, 10 December 1941, as photographed by a Japanese aircraft during the initial high-level bombing attack. Repulse, near the bottom of the view, has just been hit by one bomb and near-missed by several more. Prince of Wales is near the top of the image, generating a considerable amount of smoke. Japanese writing in the lower right states that the photograph was reproduced by authorization of the Navy Ministry. (Donation of Mr. Theodore Hutton, 1942, now in the collections of U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command)
