Ah, that explains it. That was the battle that first came to mind, but I knew that both the South Dakota and Washington were fighting the Kirishima, so I thought that couldn't be it. One battle that always impressed me was the battle where a bunch of destroyers and light cruisers raped a Japanese battleship from close range. The name of the battle is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it. The one with the Atlanta and the Sullivan brothers.
