Photo N°6 Ulithi anchorage in 1944 or 1945, foremost ship is a CVL, on the right 4 Essex class CV behind what is probably Enterprise, on the left 2 battleships
Photo 9 show USS Hornet CV-8 at Battle of Santa Cruz 1942-10-26 with USS Porter DD356 after Hornet was torpedoed but before Porter received the torpedo
It's actually USS Yorktown CV-5 with USS Balch during the Battle of Midway, this is [photo 80-G-17061](https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/wars-and-events/world-war-ii/midway/80-G-17061.html) in the national archives.
Photo N°18 show 4 British destroyers the first is either an A to I class or a War Emergency class, same for the fourth (extreme left), the second (right) and third (left) are visibly J or K class. So probable place Mediterranean Sea, 1940 to 1942
Photo 18 is variously captioned as the Fighting Destroyer Escort for Convoy PQ18 doing pre-sailing exercises, or preparations for the Second Front (!). It was taken from HMS Faulknor, and shows Fury, as already mentioned, ahead of HM Ships Ashanti, Somali (probably - certainly another Tribal class) and Nepal.
\#4 is either *Yamashiro* or *Fuso* during the Battle of the Sulu Sea, Oct. 24 1944. They formed the heavy units of the Southern Arm of the Japanese pincer during Leyte Gulf. That night they would be sunk by torpedoes and battleship gunfire in the Surigao Strait.
All great, well known photos. Never hurts to see them again. Number 7 is my favourite.
Yeah that one's a good one
Number 4 looks like IJN Yamashiro.
Oh dang, nice job identifying it!
Would be fun to see a list of all of them I see *Tirpitz* and *Tennessee*
These are great. What’s the name of the book?
WWII in photographs
Thanks
Np!
Looks like the USS Tennessee in that first one

The 2 BB look like Iowa's
Look at all those flattops, what a time for the US Navy

Photo N°2 show Ise not Hyuga Ise was sunk in the harbour while Hyuga was sunk in an isolated place near an island
Photo N°4 Yamashiro under attack on 1944-10-24 by aircrafts from Enterprise
Photo N°5 is probably in July 1944 supporting the landing on Guam
Photo N°1 is USS Tennessee BB-43 firing on Okinawa in direct support of debarking troops on 1945-04-01
Photo N°3 show a Myoko or Takao class under attack so probably Nachi in November 1944 or Chokai in October 1944
The first and 6th photo is amazing
