"The Last Glorious Day" The Combined Fleet at the Yokosuka Naval Review, October 11, 1940.
Aerial view showing, from front to back and left to right - heavy cruiser Tone, training ship Settsu, seaplane tender Mizuho, and light cruiser Isuzu. In front of Isuzu is the submarine I-168, which would sink the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) after the Battle of Midway on June 6, 1942. The two large ships in the background are the supply ship Mamiya and repair ship Akashi. The battleship Yamashiro is just visible off the plane's tail.
