| Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome outdoor black and white 80-G-702830: Ex-USS Stewart (DD-224). Under attack while being sunk as a target on 24 May 1946. Airplanes seen include an F4U "Corsair" in the lead, followed by two F6F "Hellcats". Their steep angle of approach so close to the surface, and close spacing between them, strongly indicates that this is a composite photograph. The Japanese flag painted amidships reflects Stewart's 1943-1945 service as the Japanese Navy's Patrol Boat 102. She was recovered by the U.S. Navy after the end of World War II and recommissioned as USS DD-224 for the voyage back to the United States. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. 80-G-702830: Ex-USS Stewart (DD-224). Under attack while being sunk as a target on 24 May 1946.
