Discover the extraordinary true story of a US Navy battleship that, in the heat of battle, turned its guns not on the enemy, but on its own escort. The chaos of a kamikaze attack on November 27, 1944, caused the crew of the USS Colorado to make a catastrophic error, firing on the friendly destroyer USS Renshaw. This meticulously researched historical documentary reveals how the pressures of combat, poor visibility, and the new threat of suicide attacks led to a tragic friendly fire incident in Leyte Gulf. The incident involved the battleship USS Colorado (BB-45) and the destroyer USS Renshaw (DD-499), with a 5-inch shell causing casualties amidst the larger enemy attack. From the desperate defense against Japanese kamikazes to the shocking moment of impact from a friendly shell, witness how the fog of war can turn protectors into a peril. This event proves that in the heat of battle, the greatest danger can sometimes come from the direction you least expect—a principle that remains critical in modern military operations.
