Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Pearl Harbour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Aftermath of a Japanese sneak attack on three U.S. battleships; from left to right: USS West Virginia (severely damaged), USS Tennessee (damaged), and the USS Arizona (sunk).
Reason
It is a historically significant image of a major event in World War 2. I have restored the image in Photoshop Elements 5.0 to remove some slight film grain and put the image's subjects in focus. As far as I know, this is the only image we have that compares the damage of three different ships.
