Chitose-nee...

...and Zuihou...

...and Zuikaku...

...everyone has sunk.

I'm all beaten up as well...

That enemy plane isn't even seeing me as a combatant anymore.

If I just stay like this then I might live through it....

They're calling out to me. My comrades are calling out to me.

Ise and Hyuuga are still alive.

I must buy them time, even if just a minute or a second.

I'll buy them as much time as I can.

Because I'm here to act as a decoy. During the Battle of Leyte Gulf, all four Japanese carriers served as decoys due to the shortage of pilots.

There were no survivors among Chiyoda's crew.

It took the DuBose task group 30 minutes to sink the immobile Chiyoda

As result, American force who are taken by destroying Tama and Akizuki let Ise and Hyuuga get away
