Caption: "Last Moments of Admiral Yamaguchi". Rear Admiral Yamaguchi Tamon, commander of the Japanese Carrier Striking Force's Carrier Division Two, elected to remain aboard his flagship Hiryu when she was abandoned during the early morning of 5 June 1942. He is depicted here in the middle of the scene as he bids farewell to his staff. Hiryu was the fourth Japanese aircraft carrier to be lost during the Battle of Midway. Captain Kaku Tomeo, who as CO of Hiryu also went down with her, is behind Yamaguchi (with mustache).
