Summary
| Description |
Photo taken during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on 14-15 November 1942, showing the U.S. battleship USS Washington (BB-56) firing upon the Japanese battleship Kirishima. The low elevation of the barrels shows how the close range of the adversaries; only 8,400 yards, point blank range for the 16"/45 caliber main armament of Washington. Українська: Фотографія зроблена під час морської битви за Гудалканал 14-15 листопада 1942р. На ній зображено лінкор ВМС США USS Washington (BB-56) що веде вогонь по японському лінкору Kirishima. З низького нахилу стволів головного калібру, можна зробити висновок, наскільки близько одне від одного знаходяться супротивники.
