In the Battle off Samar a couple of US destroyers with 5" guns took on several Japanese battleships and cruisers and scored a large number of hits, seriously impeding their opponents' ability attack the six US carriers nearby. It did help that the big battleship shells were just passing right thru the destroyers without exploding.
