| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome black and white LC-USZX62-15191: Battle of Midway, June 1942. USS Yorktown (CV-5) is hit on the port side, amidships, by a Japanese Type 91 aerial torpedo during the mid-afternoon attack by planes from the carrier Hiryu, 4 June 1942. Photographed from USS Pensacola (CA-24). Yorktown is heeling to port and is seen at a different aspect than in other views taken by Pensacola, indicating that this is the second of the two torpedo hits she received. Note very heavy anti-aircraft fire. Also at the National Archives as 80-G-414423. (7/2/2015). LC-USZX62-15191: Battle of Midway, June 1942.
