The Night 8 Japanese Destroyers Turned a U.S. Cruiser Line Into Floating Wreckage

On the night of November 30, 1942, eight Japanese destroyers charged into Ironbottom Sound and turned a powerful line of U.S. heavy cruisers into burning wreckage. This full-length WW2 naval documentary tells the untold story of the Battle of Tassafaronga—one of the U.S. Navy’s worst cruiser defeats of World War II. In this episode, we follow Rear Admiral Raizō Tanaka and his destroyer squadron as they attempt a desperate supply run to Guadalcanal—armed with the deadly Type 93 “Long Lance” torpedoes. You’ll see how Japanese night-fighting tactics, oxygen-fueled torpedoes, and American overconfidence in radar technology combined into a deadly ambush that crippled Minneapolis, New Orleans, Pensacola, and sent USS Northampton to the bottom. #ww2 #worldwar2 #navalhistory #navalwarfare #BattleOfTassafaronga #guadalcanal #pacificwar #usnavy #imperialjapanesenavy #tokyoexpressway #LongLance #militaryhistory #wardocumentary #ww2documentary #historychannelstyle
