Famous WW2 Quote
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, at Guadalcanal

Note the damage on the horizontal stab of plane number 10. Picture had to have been taken just at the end of recovery of a strike. The active carriers this day were for the Rabaul strike with Saratoga, Essex, Bunker Hill, Independence and Princeton. There is too much island structure showing for this to be a CVL. Essex, Bunker Hill, and Independence were entering Espiritu Santo. This is then probably Saratoga at around 1300 as she recovered the Rabaul strike.
