A photo taken from a WWII U.S. Submarine of a Japanese Destroyer after having been torpedoed.

I was just watching a documentary on submarines and they showed this picture, (I would display it here but the guy on the website below is selling it.)
"The USS Nordilisk(spelling?) on June 26th 1942 tracked and torpedoed the Japanese Destroyer Yamakasi"
History Channel.
And here is some more from various other submarines through history

Re: First Photo From American Submarine.
Yep as OP says,
USS Nautilus (W. H. Brockman Commanding).
After attempting to finish off the Soryu (towards the end of the battle)(results inconclusive/debatable), she went back to Midway to refuel. Off again in the direction on Tokyo to find Yamakaze.
Results shown.

Re: First Photo From American Submarine.
The date would have 6/26 if in fact West of the International Date line, the Eastern recorded Date may have been 6/25.
Just a thought.
