Summary
Description |
English:
The U.S. Navy
Clemson
-class destroyer USS
Edsall
(DD-219) (misidentified as "HMS Pope") being sunk on 1 March 1942 south of Java. Imperial Japanese Navy warships, including battleships
Kirishima
and
Hiei
, resumed firing on the immobilized
Edsall
near Java on 1 March 1942 after the destroyer has been heavily damaged by carrier dive bombers. The destroyer sank moments later. A Japanese camera-man, probably on the cruiser
Tone
, filmed about 90 seconds of her destruction. A single frame from a film recorded from the deck of IJN cruise
Tone
was used as a propaganda photo later, misidentified as "the British destroyer HMS Pope". There was no
HMS Pope
. A USS
Pope
(DD-225) was sunk by air attack in the Second Battle of the Java Sea that same day but hundreds of miles away.
