June 25, 1942, the Japanese destroyer Yamakaze was torpedoed and sunk by USS Nautilus (SS-168) about 60 nautical miles from the coast of Japan. Yamakaze had sunk USS Shark (SS-174) a few months earlier. This photo was taken through the periscope of the Nautilus.

"What is another name for the Japanese destroyer Yamakaze?
For other ships with the same name, see Japanese destroyer Yamakaze. Yamakaze (山風, ”Mountain Wind”) was the eighth of ten Shiratsuyu -class destroyers, and the second to be built for the Imperial Japanese Navy under the Circle Two Program ( Maru Ni Keikaku )."
