This battle was wonderfully told in Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by James Hornfischer. These men directly engaged a vastly superior Japanese naval force and managed to turn them back. May they Rest in Peace.

Amen. Men such as these were our heros growing up. Back when being patriotic was a given. :)
