By mid-February, still the only major American fighting ship in Southeast Asia, the Houston had lost one-third of her main armament to enemy bombers. She was in Darwin, Australia, with a convoy, when suddenly came the dread news: the Japanese were unleashing their big guns in an all-out attempt to capture the last of the Netherlands East Indies. The crippled Houston was rushed back into action.What happened nextin the Battle of the Java Sea and then in the climactic Battle of Sunda Straitis thrillingly recounted in The Ghost That Died at Sunda Strait. Here is the story of a gallant ship, outgunned but never outfought, and of the men who lived and died trading shell for shell with vastly superior Japanese forces. Here too, is the story told by my friend Captain Windy Winslow, a survivor of the Houstons finest hour. He then survived a virtual hellthree-and-a-half years in Japanese POW campsbut fortunately returned to tell the tale.
