Trivia
Numerous weapons can be seen during the archive footage.
The US Navy battleship. The ship's cannons...
The US Navy battleship. naval ship during the battle.
The naval ship's cannons. The ship is the cruiser or even destroyer.
This footage show the twin turrets, so it's most likely Colorado-class, armed with 8 16-inch guns.
A warship at the background left has outlook similar to Japanese Imperial Navy battleships with typical very high superstructure (in US Navy this detail of Japanese battleships was nicknamed "Pagoda"). Possibly this is a photo of the Battle of Surigao Strait of 25 October 1944 when "Yamashiro" was sank by six US battleships of 14-inch and 16-inch types, described above.
French 75mm Mle 1897 field gun. However the uniform of the gunner isn't French, he wears a typical British helmet.
The "Katyusha" missle launchers...
...runs during the combat.
The US Navy destroyer, armed with 5-inch main guns and twin
40mm Bofors.
The soldiers with the rifles. The helmets seem to be of British pattern but this proves nothing.
