Thank you for making us take a closer look at this photo, but we did not find what you thought we were going to find. The Japanese writing in the upper left identifies this not as the Kumano but as the Suzuya and dates the image as 8 Feb 1943. At that time, Suzuya was undergoing trials in Toyama Bay. The links and caption for this image have all been updated accordingly. Thank you again for bringing this up.

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

Hello, this photograph is a pre-war photo (not 1943) as the ship is retaining its original 6'in turrets in this image.
