USS Washington vs Kirishima – Battleship Duel at Night (1942)
During the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, USS Washington engaged the Japanese battleship Kirishima at point-blank range in the darkness. Using radar-guided fire, Washington struck Kirishima repeatedly, disabling her in minutes. Kirishima capsized and sank shortly after. It was one of the rare true battleship-versus-battleship duels of World War II.
