Summary

Description
English: Two Japanese Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers (B5N2 in the foreground and B5N1 in the background) over the Java Sea on 17 February 1942. The smoke in the background is coming from the Dutch destroyer HrMs Van Nes. She was sunk by Japanese aircraft from the aircraft carrier Ryujo circa 30 km of Toboali, Bangka Island, while escorting the troop transport Sloet van der Beele.
According Tom Womack's The Allied Defense of the Malay Barrier, 1941-1942 (p. 150) it can also be Dutch tanker Manvantara.
