The account briefly leaves Cossack to recall Eskimo's conduct during the same battle. After losing her bow and forward gun mounting, the destroyer still advanced stern-first toward the enemy. A runner from the after gun asked the bridge to angle the damaged ship so that the mounting could continue firing. The episode provides a concrete example of the professional pride and combat persistence attributed to Tribal crews.
