There was a fire in the nearby tanks of aviation gasoline, which destroyed the battleship’s seaplanes. In addition to the loss of the seaplanes, another bomb hit did not cause the ship serious damage. The next day, Fuso was sunk in a night battle in Surigao Strait. Vice-Admiral Nishimuro Shoji, commander of the 2nd Battleship Division, was killed. |
