Sammy B: "Well... first thing you're going to need is a lot of smoke or rain or whatever. In other words, very bad visibility.
Second thing you'll need is some strong 'MURICAN search radar.
Third thing you'll need is a distraction, like a big fat juicy carrier just asking to get shot up, as represented by Gambier Bay here.
So let's demonstrate on a cruiser, oh Chikuma, looks like you just volunteered.
So while the cruiser is focused on the carrier you rush in underneath the minimum elevation of both the primary and secondary guns and just blow the ever-loving crap out of its superstructure with your main guns until she's combat ineffective.
Got it? Good, that's how I became known as the 'Destroyer Escort that fought like a battleship'."
Gambier Bay and Chikuma: "I do not like this demonstration!!!"
