Damage to Newcomb, Kerama Retto, 11 April 1845.
Looking forward from No. 3 gun, we see No. 1 stack and the area that had housed the galley.
Notice the close proximity to nearby islands, most of which were still occupied by the Japanese. From here they launched their suicide swimmers and suicide boats. |
