HMAS Canberra (D33) bow sinking after scuttling by destroyers after the Battle of Savo Island
In the distance is Savo Island. In the foreground is the wake of a U.S. destroyer that took the photograph, either USS Ellet (DD-398) or USS Selfridge (DD-357). The destroyers scuttled the damaged cruiser with gunfire and torpedoes.
