Definitely! The Johnston and the Samuel B Robert’s fought like hell. “The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailers” has been on my reading list for a long time.

I have the book. My father was a navigator on a DE in the Pacific for all of the big battles and invasions. He never got into a gunfight with a battleship but they were in the middle of a lot of shite. He said he seriously did not think he would come home.

That was a different time with people of real courage.
