    On 11 May 1945, 2 Kamikaze Hits within one minute almost did in the USS Bunker Hill. 389 sailors and aircrew were killed and many more wounded, but superb damage control saved the ship. After repair in the US, she was never used in active sea service again until scrapped in 1973.

    Task Force 58 attacked Kyushu on March 18, 1945. Shooting up installations like airfields and docks. By this point, there was hardly much the Japanese could do about it. Soon, the large fast US battleships would actually prowl their coast in gun range, shooting up industrial targets like steelworks.

    I think this is Omura, based on the inscription the bay-like look of this water body.
