| Surviving crew members of the USS Franklin watching an amateur vaudeville on their hanger deck, seven says after their disaster. The USS Franklin had maneuvered closer to the Japanese mainland than any other carrier and was bombed twice from above by a Japanese plane. There were 724 casualties. The remaining crew managed to save the ship. The men are seen gathered around a makeshift stage as a man in a dress and hat is grinning and holding a microphone stand. |
