艦首が沈み込む「武藏」の最後の写真を撮影したのは、駆逐艦「磯風」水雷長だった海兵70期の白石東平大尉でした。
同期で、駆逐艦「濱風」水雷長だった武田光雄大尉曰く、ユニークな人物だったそうです。

The last photograph of the "Musashi," with her bow sinking, was taken by Captain Tohei (Tobei) Shiraishi, a 70th class naval cadet who served as the torpedo officer on the destroyer "Isokaze."

According to Captain Mitsuo Takeda, a classmate who was the torpedo officer on the destroyer "Hamakaze," he was quite an eccentric fellow.
