A close-up of the ship from the previous photo shows geysers of water near the stern, undoubtedly from USN planes' .50 cal machine gun fire.

Note how low in the water Yamato is in front, and also listing to port, with the rear of the ship obscured by smoke.

Photo taken just before the Yorktown squadron delivered the third and final attack. Photographed from a USS Yorktown (CV-10) plane.
