USS LSM-20 sinking stern first after the Kamikaze attack at Surigao Strait, 5 December 1944. Several crew members are still aboard, one can be seen on the port side and another on the starboard side clinging to the life lines. USS LCI(G)-1017 is visible off USS LSM-20's port side as she stands by to rescue the LSMs' crew. Photo was taken from a second LCI laying off her starboard side.

Thank you for the kind words, as you can appreciate it took many years and a bit of luck. I look forward to seeing your post. Kurt
