| Description |
English: View of the flight deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CV-2), at about 1700 hrs. on 8 May 1942, as the crew prepares to abandon ship, after the series of explosions that produced uncontrollable fires and brought her to a stop. The photo was tekan from the ship's island, looking forward, with fire hoses and debris (including an aircraft landing gear wheel) visible on the flight deck. The heavy cruiser USS Minneapolis (CA-36) is faintly visible in the center, crossing Lexington's bow. |
