USS South Dakota (BB-57) steams into heavy seas on 24 February 1945 (80-G-K-3345)

The U.S. Navy battleship USS South Dakota (BB-57) steams into heavy seas on 24 February 1945, while en route to take part Task Force 58's second Tokyo raid of the month. Photographed from atop the battleship's forward fire control platform. Spray is enveloping the forecastle 40mm gun mounts in weather that curtailed the number of strikes flown on 25 February and forced the cancellation of those planned for the 26th.
