24 October 1944 Japanese cruiser or battleship?
According to a Newspaper report Duncan claimed a hit on a light cruiser on 24 October 1944. Later this becomes a hit on the battleship Yamato-class Musashi. Did Duncan hit a cruiser? I doubt the Musashi would be misidentified as a cruiser unless from a height where it could not possibly be identified as any ship. Did the Essex attack another ship? Perhaps the heavy cruiser Myōkō (妙高)?
