[1] Due to a trick of the eye and angle of the camera that implied an elongated bridge for a long time the destroyer nearest to the camera was taken to be some kind of Yugumo-class that had had its No.2 turret removed. A likely candidate appeared to be Naganami for it was believed to have retained the old foremast and was known to have sustained massive fantail damage in November 1943. Hence, that it alone of the class might have had its turret removed appeared plausible. However, fitting out diagrams by Constructor Fukui Shizuo clearly showed Naganami still possessed her No.2 turret, and more careful study reveals that all the destroyers are in fact Kageros--- Isokaze's Desdiv 17 team-mates. (The same photographer took the famous port-broadside pictures of MUSASHI departing Brunei on 22 October and shortly before foundering with bow nearly awash at dusk 24 October. The pictures were left undeveloped for some time and thus suffered some degradation but remain some of the most important of the IJN in the Pacific War.)
