The reverse of an official U.S. Navy photograph, stamped 'Confidential' and dated October 26, 1944, identifies the image as showing the escort carrier USS Suwannee burning and turning out of the wind - a scene photographed from her sister ship USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) in the aftermath of a kamikaze strike during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Such caption cards, marked not for publication by order of the Bureau of Aeronautics, illustrate how tightly the Navy controlled combat damage imagery during World War II. Project: 218460
