 * Reason:One of those historical photos with an interesting context, albeit sad for both warring sides. The previous nomination failed particularly due to then small size.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Battle of the Eastern Solomons, USS Enterprise (CV-6)
 * FP category for this image:History/World War II
 * Creator:Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Marion Riley

 * I'm torn. The EV is very high, and the image is very dynamic. However, the grain is very, very strong... Weak support. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:49, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment — Me too — While it's a dramatic capture, IMO it's not entirely apparent visually that this was an explosion on an aircraft carrier (one that was later repaired & returned to service in WWII). Sca (talk) 01:30, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Support: I'm going to go ahead and support: It's an historical image, certainly not retakeable, and I doubt a better example exists for the two in question. Barring a video for these, I can accept this. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:53, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose: unique and interesting image, but not FP material. Grain etc. aside, it's not at all immediately evident what's going on in the picture (it took me quite a while figuring out up and down) and I have to question how much EV there really is in such a picture. What does it convey that text can't? It just looks like a random explosion to me. JPNEX (talk) 16:23, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose for me only VI, but far from an FP image. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:37, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
