"I didn’t see much damage on the carrier itself, but I saw some fire. However, the Kaga didn’t sink, and after it became dark a destroyer sank it with a torpedo. After going into the water, I swam for six hours before getting rescued by the destroyer Maikaze. At night, I had a difficult time breathing, and the next morning, I vomited blood."
