“ The South Dakota was targeted and took over 40 hits in the night action“

impressive to me. I don’t think any modern us navy ship could take that many hits and still keep going.

Most of the larger caliber hits were not armor piercing rounds fired by the Japanese. They were planning on a shore/airfield bombardment, totally different round.
