The last true battleship to battleship duel was between the USS Washington and the IJN Kirishima off of guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. The USS South Dakota was also involved but suffered technical/electrical difficulties during the engagment. IJN Kirishima was focused on the South Dakota and did not see the Washington until it was to late. The Washington slammed dozen of 16in and 5in shells into the Kirishima...leaving her to sink the next morning.
