To the Sammy B and her brave crew, may they enjoy the peace they so richly deserve after taking on the giants of the IJN.

Sammy B, Hoel, Johnston, & Heerman put up such an intense fight at the Battle Off Samar that it seems Admiral Kurita felt sure they were the vanguard of larger fleet elements. Yet it was only their unparalelled bravery that caused him to turn away. May their example of courage in the face of impossible odds be spoken of in the reverent tones they deserve.

RIP Sammy B

Amazing. Looks from the photos like some of her disruptive camouflage paint has survived the years underwater.

Rest In Peace, boys.
