No worries...A double mention of that book is deserved...One great read...
At 0300 on the 25th, the USS Melvin DD-680 was occupied launching a torpedo attack on the IJN battleship Fuso, which slit in two, rolled over and sank 40 minutes later...
My Dad was a 19 yo radioman aboard the Melvin...Her skipper CDR Barry Atkins was awarded the Navy Cross for that action...
My dad was a machinist mate on West Virginia. She fired 81 rounds of 16 in 45 AP at Fuso’s sister ship Yamashiro. Supposedly hit her 8 times
