This week Seth and Bill welcome back good pal historian Jon Parshall to talk about the clash of giants that occurred on the night of November 14-15, 1942 off the shores of Guadalcanal. The battleship duel between USS Washington and Kirishima sealed the fate of the Imperial effort at Guadalcanal, and is seen as the final nail in the Imperial Coffin when it comes to "Starvation Island". Tune in and see what the trio uncover as they talk about ADM Willis Lee's slugfest with the Japanese as Washington slays the Kirishima.
