On May 9th 1945, the Japanese Heavy Cruiser Haguro deployed into the malacca strait from Singapore. It was to be the ships’ last voyage. A few days later, Haguro was ambushed by a flotilla of Allied destroyers, who used dozens of torpedoes and heavy gunfire to sink her, over the course of an hour-long battle where Haguro’s crew made their final stand.
