Question 43

Inexplicably, and with dire consequences, HIJMS Jintsū turned on a searchlight making herself a target for all the gunners. Leander fired 160 shells at the Japanese cruiser which having taken a heavy pounding was quickly wrecked. Before falling out of the action, fire from Jintsū cut the main aerial cable on Leander. The five destroyers accompanying Jintsū quickly fired 29 of their fearsome Long Lance torpedoes towards the Task Group ships. Just 17 minutes into the action, Task Group Commander, Rear Admiral Ainsworth using the Talk-Between-Ship voice radio system ordered the Task Group to make a simultaneous 180 degree turn south. Due to defects in the communication system HMNZS Leander didn’t receive the order. ________________ was the only rear destroyer to receive the message. With communication patchy at best, and gun smoke obscuring any chance of seeing what was happening, all the ships continued to fire furiously at the Japanese. In the midst of the firing, with visibility at a minimum, Leander found herself forced to take last minute evasive action to avoid a collision with USS Honolulu, who belatedly was following orders to turn to port.
