The hero destroyer USS Johnston was found after 77yrs on the bottom of Leyte gulf. The Fletcher class destroyer scarified herself against a Japanese fleet to protect Gen MacArthur’s landing in the Philippians islands. If you haven’t heard of the Johnston, you should. Her Commander Evans & Crew should never be forgotten.
