Lost the first Vincennes there.....
Never fully realize the fight you are in until you get a bloody nose...
Then the adrenaline really kicks in...
You can spend a lot of time watching Drachinifel’s and learn from each of them. I highly recommend his ‘Battle off Samar’ video to show what our WWII Navy was capable of. Also check out the ‘Voyage of the Damned” about the Russian fleets voyage to the Pacific in the Russo-Japanese War.
Drachinifel is great. I really enjoy his videos.
Better presentations are available. Drachinifel is a comprehensive collection, but dreary to suffer through.
Try Mark Felton, if not just for the martial/battle music theme.
The Battle Of Iron Bottom Sound. The US Navy’s worst defeat. This is the action that saw the loss of all five of the Sullivan brothers.
I believe this campaign, along with Makin Island, was the first use of US Marine Raider battalions.
