WWII Colorized Japanese propaganda book

[Jags1]

I picked up a 40 page WWII propaganda for what I would assume is for the Japanese "home-front" made in what I would guess is early/mid 1942 based on the battle scenes. it shows the capture of Singapore, sinking of several British warships (Prince of Wales &Repluse?), Corregidor, Pearl Harbor, etc. I have attached a copy of the cover with its' marking plus two "pages" that represent Pearl Harbor and the sinking of a US carrier (Lexington?). I included photos of the description that is in the margins for each one. If anyone can offer some insight into the narrative, Italy s always, much appreciated. I apologize if the orientation of the kanji is incorrect. It's a very cool book to say the least!

Looks like it was published in 1943 (Showa 18)

Right, the pictures #2501~2505 are the ones of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, but #2506~2508 are the ones of the Battle of Midway.

Three ships, Yorktown class aircraft carrier, San Francisco class armored cruiser, and Enterprise class aircraft carrier are mentioned in the text, so it would be Yorktown or Enterprise.

Then it would be the Yorktown which damaged by aircraft and then finished off by a sub... I keep saying "wow" as I continue to absorb all this history. Many thanks!
