BB Kirishima
Sunk by USS Washington in the Solomons .....she was blasting at the USS South Dakota whose radar was knocked out early as the Kirishima was scoring hits when suddenly the Washington had closed in and started a rain of shells smothering the Kirishima with hits and near misses.... Her sinking ended the series of battles that basically decided the fate of the Japanese efforts to regain Guadalcanal....
