Have you seen Drachinifel’s YouTube piece on the Battle Off Samar? Worth watching.

“With an enemy whose turret weighs more than her, the Johnston decides that... running is boring.”
“It will take the (Japanese) formation a half-hour to work around into a Johnston-free firing position.”
He does make a few errors about years, but did catch it upon posting.
The problem with a movie on the Battle Off Samar is that nobody would believe it and say that Hollywood made it up.
Even for those of us who know of it and know it is a reality, it is still hard to believe. To have no hope, but to do it just the same.
Thanks for that link, I will check it out tonight.
