Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Leutze (DD-481) showing damage suffered after coming the assistance of USS Newcomb (DD-586) off Okinawa on 6 April 1945. A kamikaze glanced off Newcomb and exploded in the narrow space between the two ships. Leutze got much the worse of this, the upward force of the explosion damaging both propeller shafts and ripping her side open adjacent to mount 55. The damage is seen nearly a month later from both sides of her stern.
