| Description | The U.S. Navy motor torpedo boat tender USS Niagara (AGP-1) burns after being attacked by Japanese aircraft east of Cape Surville, San Cristobal Island, Solomon Islands, on 23 May 1943. The motor torpedo boat PT-146 is alongside the stern (port) while PT-147 moves up to the starboard side, aft. The tender sank later that day. Other boats (PT-144, PT-145, PT-148, or PT-110) maneuver to pick up other men from the doomed ship. |
