The riveting story of the USS Helenas final battle in Kula Gulf on July 6, 1943, and the tenacity and courage of her survivors, is told through a narrative, interwoven with firsthand accounts from the survivors.

After repairs, USS Helena saw action at Guadalcanal before being torpedoed in Kula Gulf.
