About this listen
Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of naval warfare, including some examples of casualties. It also contains two instances of adult language.
When you studied the second World War in school, did you ever learn about the turning point of the Pacific campaign when essentially a single US battleship with a real badass of an admiral forced an entire contingent of Japanese ships to turn tail and run? Or about the smaller destroyers that fought alongside the battleship, before two of them sunk, leaving hundreds of men floating in shark infested waters overnight? Join Trini and Monica this week as they explore this story that when Trini first heard of it from her in-laws, she was convinced it had to be a slight exaggeration. Spoilers: it was not.
