The carriers and battleships of the Japanese  Indian Ocean strike force departing Starling Bay, marked as being taken on March 30. A translation of the original caption reads: March, 1942: the task force proceeding across the Indian Ocean: the view, from behind an anti-aircraft gun, front port side of the Zuikaku, shows the battle group in a single column, veering to port directly in front of he Zuikaku, with the carrier Akagi in the lead, followed by carriers Hiryu and Soryu, then battleships Hiei, Kirishima, Haruna and Kongo. The Shokaku is probably cruising to the rear of the Zuikaku
