Experience the incredible story of the USS Johnston DD-557 and its legendary commander, Ernest Evans, during the Battle off Samar. On October 25, 1944, this small Fletcher-class destroyer did the unthinkable by charging headlong into Admiral Kurita’s Center Force, including the massive battleship Yamato. Outgunned and outweighed, the Johnston’s crew fought with "samurai spirit," launching a desperate torpedo attack that crippled heavy cruisers and threw the Japanese fleet into chaos.
Despite sustaining catastrophic hits from 14-inch shells and losing half its power, the Johnston refused to sink, buying precious time for vulnerable escort carriers to escape certain destruction. This documentary explores the tactical genius, the sacrifice of 186 sailors, and the recent discovery of the wreck 20,000 feet below the Philippine Sea. Discover how one ship’s defiance changed the course of World War II naval history forever.
