Note that Nevada is underway with her flag still flying from her stern (normal for anchored or moored but not while moving) – a sign of the urgency of the moment. This photo was taken at about 0920 hours local time, minutes after the destroyer Downes exploded in Drydock No. 1, the source of much of the darker smoke seen in this photograph. The dredge line seen here blocked over half the channel requiring the Nevada, without the benefit of tugs, to maneuver slowly around it and this allowed Japanese bombers almost point-blank access to the battleship.
