A warship in the background on the left appears similar to Japanese battleships with very high superstructures(in the US Navy, this detail of Japanese battleships was nicknamed the "pagoda"). This is possibly a photo of the Battle of Surigao Strait of 25 October 1944 when Japanese battleship Yamashiro was sunk by six 14- and 16-inch US battleships, as described above.
