ORIGINAL: Wirraway_Ace Not to steal Knavey's thunder, but it would go something like this: "It is November 42, and it seems like the entire IJN used one of my brand new Dakota class BBs for target practice in a night action and she barely even fired back! The BB had both SG and SC radar operational when she went into the night action. This never could have happened!" This is a primary example of the "Kaptain Klutz Rule" in operation, according to my reading! If the captain (Gatch) hadn't ordered the circuit breakers wired closed, the SG and SC may have returned to operational status during the shooting. But, then again, it could be that it was his plan to get his ship back to the states, or at least, Pearl, for some more liberty call!
