"In 1942, the cruiser USS San Francisco attacked a vastly superior Japanese force off the coast of Guadalcanal. It is known as the most brutal close-quarters naval engagement of WWII. USS San Francisco took some 45 direct hits and sustained heavy damage while sinking one Japanese ship and seriously damaging two others (including a battleship). One hundred sailors, including Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan and 7 Marines were killed and 131 more wounded. Despite it all, USS San Francisco safely made it back to port."
