Syrian Lannister posted:The Last of the Tin Can Sailors The true story of the naval battle of San Bernardino Strait. Philippines during WWII. A last ditch battle of navy Destroys and Destroy escorts against Japanese heavy cruisers and battle ships. defending the USCarriers from destruction. Came here to recommend this one. Absolutely phenomenal story. Since I was beaten to the punch on that I'll recommend Neptune's Inferno by the same author, about the Battle of Guadalcanal. And hell, Ship of Ghosts is also an amazing book (and is also written by Hornfischer) about the often-forgotten USS Houston, which was sunk in the very early months of the US' involvement in the war. Her survivors were captured and sent to Burma, where they suffered hellishly for the duration.
