After being torpedoed on the 13th November 1941 HMS Ark Royal rapidly developed a severe list
The destroyer HMS Legion came alongside and took off almost 1500 men whilst a group stayed on board attempting to prevent her sinking.

HMS Royal Oak

British R class battleship, built between 1914 and 1916, sunk at her moorings in Scapa Flow, on 14 october 1939, by the German U-boat U47
The wreck, seen in the lower view, still lies upside-down at the bottom of Scapa Flow, and still holds the remains of over 800 of the crew who perished in the sinking.

I belive the correct description may well be "Japanese Type-C Escort Vessel No. 1 sinking in Taiwan Strait south of Amoy (Xiamen), China, 6 Apr 1945, having attacked by US B-25J (44-29600; 2Lt Francis A. Thompson) of 499th 'Bats Outta Hell' Bomb Squadron of 345th 'Air Apaches' Bomb Group".

I can't remember where I found that picture in the first place but they said something different. Your idea seems to be the correct one though. Would that mean that the wake is from an airborne torpedo? Sorry about the mistake. :oops:
