درباره این اپیزود
On the night of October 11–12, 1942, off Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal, the U.S. Navy won its first surface victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific War — two months after the catastrophic defeat at Savo Island. Rear Admiral Norman Scott's cruiser-destroyer force sank the cruiser Furutaka and the destroyer Fubuki and mortally wounded Japanese Admiral Aritomo Gotō, but the "decisive win" was built on a botched turn, a misread radio call, and a solo torpedo run gone rogue. This episode tells the real story behind the headline — and why the false lessons it taught helped set up disaster at Tassafaronga two months later.
