Jintsuu: "I will take the attacks! Meanwhile all of you...!" Yukikaze: "Jintsuu-san! This is too reckless!"

Battle of Kolombangara (July 12-13, 1943)

During a transport mission to the island of New Georgia Yukikaze's radar was traced by the enemy and the fleet engaged in a battle. This fight would probably be impossible without Jintsuu, who was taking all the fire on herself while lighting the searchlight and relaying enemy positions to others. Overall, this was a tactical victory, with 6 enemy ships taking heavy damage or sunk, while the Japanese only lost Jintsuu.
