A cruiser's bow ploughs through heavy seas

Looking forward from high on the superstructure, the dark deck of a warship runs down to a gun turret with its barrels trained ahead and to the bow, where white spray bursts over the sides; the bridge tower and a slanting boom stand against a pale sky. The source speaks of an American cruiser sinking two Japanese destroyers and of Japanese prisoners on the cruiser's deck.
