Since someone went Tora! Tora! Tora! and Admiral Tanaka, anybody know this ship and her story?

Yeah I was aware of the name and some of the bio, but his face wasn't one that leapt out - I knew Japanese navy by the uniform. The Tokyo Express clue helped me narrow it down to who it was, but that's cheating.

Same here. I even checked on my iPhone and I can't see it there either.

I think that's a US WWI era "triple stack" destroyer but I'm not even going to guess on her name.

He most certainly did administer an arse kicking or two. Funny thing is that he was also disliked by the IJN command and shipped of to the CBI theater, which is almost certainly the only reason he survived the war.

Interwar, Clemson-class - she was scuttled (the Phillipines, maybe? Don't remember - ETA: Indonesia) - and refloated by the Japanese. She was recommissioned and did some of those "freedom cruise" missions and crapped out on the way back to San Fran one time. I remember the story. Wiki says she was scrapped as a target in '46.
Lots of good ships were...

Ya'll are killing me with the ship! OK, here is a little for the air fans. This is one half of the "two man airforce." Name him and the other, and what made them unique.

It is a Clemson class destroyer. They were called 4-stackers because they had 4 stacks. This one has only 3 and the first one is trunked - which the US didn't do but the Japanese did making it the

USS Stewart.
She fought in the desperate battles of early war as part of the ABDA fleet and survived only to be scuttled when damaged in an Indonesian dry dock.
The Japanese raised her and recommissioned her as Patrol Boat 102. The front two stacks were trunked together at that time.
She then served the remainder of the war and as a convoy escort and survived numerous battles with US submarines and aircraft.
After the Japanese surrender, the USN was shocked to learn she'd survived. She was taken back over but recommissioned with the name "DD-224" because (with DD-224 assumed lost) USS Stewart had been assigned to another ship.

Gentile or Godfrey - no way I can tell which with that picture.
I'll guess Gentile by the hair?
"Unique?" Goering hated them, personally. Not sure what you're looking for here.
