It shows up well at Inchon, SK (at ~21:22Z)
And with that S-wave (shear) magnitude, I bet the folks on Chichi-shima and other nearby islands experienced some serious swingin'and swayin'...

I left Beautiful Beaufort in 1963. (Marine Corps brat, I was 10)
Is that the one with the shell exploding on the deck of a ship? I remember that one.

That picture was taken on the deck of ENTERPRISE at the very moment a Japanese bomb exploded. The happened during the Naval Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 24, 1942.

This was my Dad's introduction to the Japanese:
"At dusk on the 7th of April 1945, Maryland took her third hit in ten months from enemy planes. A suicide plane loaded with a 500-pound bomb crashed the top of turret No. 3 from starboard. The explosion wiped out the 20mm mounts, causing 53 casualties. As before, however, she continued to blast enemy shore positions with devastating 16- inch fire."
He was manning a 20mm AA gun at the base of turret #3. A few feet lower, it would have hit the side of the turret, and I wouldn't be here.
