DescriptionJapanese Cruisers of the Seventh Squadron.jpg
Japanese Cruisers of the Seventh Squadron in Ise Bay, east-central Honshu, during the Summer of 1938. Ships are identified on the original print as (from front to back) Mogami, Mikuma and Kumano. However, at that time Sentai 7 consisted of Kumano (one funnel band, as on ship in foreground), Mikuma (2 funnel bands) and Suzuya (3 funnel bands). Accordingly, this photo may show those three ships, in the order listed.
