According to the caption for the same photo in "In Action - Essex Class Carriers" pg 42, it is the USS Bunker Hill, CV-17 after being hit by 2 kamikazes while off Okinawa 11 May 1945.

I see I am not believed.;) The 3 photos  of the Bunker Hill have US Gov. ID numbers.

80-G-274266 is as posted by Brady

80-G-323712 and
80-G-259040 are of the flight deck, one during the fire, the afterwards.
