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
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

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.
