Thank you for your time,

I have my fathers photo album from his time in the Pacific, the Destroyer he was on was in Tokyo and Hiroshima right after the end of the war. I am submitting two photos
of a Japanese battleship sunk in the shallows of Tokyo bay. Given the knowledge of WWII Japanese history on this site, I'm thinking someone can identify the ship. I realize this is off topic, but it seemed like the only place to ask.

Thank you again,
Leonard

Looks like the Kongō class Battlecruiser Haruna.
