Sailors of the Japanese destroyer cling for their lives to their sinking ship, Type C Kaibokan Escort No. 1, which is under attack by North American B-2’s S of the Air Apaches Group near Amoy, China, on April 6, 1945.

1. Ww2 would have been over so fast if we had B2 spirits.

2. B-25s FTFY

3. I always try to imagine what it would be like.

   Falling in the water, swimming to a sinking ship, corpses and fire everywhere, nobody on the horizon..

   Or being alone in a trench, drone buzzing outside, do I freeze? Throw something? Duck? Run?

   I can’t wrap my head around it. It’s so unreal and separated from reality it feels like.

4. you might wanna delete and repost for consise title (B-25)

5. Being sunk at sea must be horrible at that time. Unless you had close by convoy or other ships to help assist. Lone merchant or military ships being sunk must have an abysmal survival rate
