The Dec 2008 comment appears to be correct. Warship International No. 3, 1984 also says that the three ships are Kumano, Mikuma and Suzuya, from front to back.

In that case my dad's ship blew the bow off the ship in the front, not the back :)

Famous WW2 Quote
"The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 Feb 1945

Ships are identified on the original print as (from front to back) Mogami, Mikuma and Kumano. However, at that time Sentai 7 consisted of Kumano (one funnel band, as on ship in foreground), Mikuma (2 funnel bands) and Suzuya (3 funnel bands). Accordingly, this photo may show those three ships, in the order listed.
