Reminds of an episode of the History Channel Dogfights series about the Battle off of Samar. The fire control officer on the Johnston recalled the Battle of Kwajelein, where he was providing fire support for the Marines on the beach. Looking through binoculars, he saw a Japanese officer standing up over the lip of a trench, waving his sword and encouraging his men into battle. The naval fire control officer let him have a broadside from all five 5” guns. The captain made a remark about the economical use of ammunition, but no Japs popped up over that trench, at least for a while.
