Reason: Impressive picture of the largest single naval formation in history to take part in a battle. There are 11 carriers and 3 battleships, plus some other smaller ships doing a concerted maneuver shortly after Japan's surrender. Not gonna happen again. I think the imperfections are excusable considering the composition and subject matter.

Oppose for now. In clear need of restoration, white border jutting in at the top left corner. Crop is awfully tight (though this can't be helped much) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:31, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – No doubt TF 38 was an impressive formation, but this aerial shot lacks detail and focus, the horizon appears to be tilted – and the war was over when it was taken, so it's not a war-action photo. Sca (talk) 14:51, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
