The Last Naval Gunfight of WWII — Five Destroyers Hunted Haguro in the Dark
Rain drives sideways across the Malacca Strait. Lightning fractures the sky. In less than sixty minutes, more than seven hundred and fifty men will be dead — and one of them is a Japanese admiral who already knew he was not coming home. This is the story of the last major surface gunfight of the Second World War. The last time a Royal Navy destroyer sank a capital ship with torpedoes in open combat. The last hour of an era. 00:00 The last heavy cruiser 11:40 The radar that saw through the storm 23:20 The perfect trap that almost failed 34:10 The ship that refused to die 47:50 Eighty years later If your father or grandfather served in the East Indies Fleet or on a destroyer in the Malacca Strait, please leave his name, ship, or memory in the comments.
