    Saw this on YouTube and thought was pretty neat. It's basically a computer generated animation of the battle. It was part of a History channel documentary and somebody just took all the action clips and condensed them. If anything, a good way to visualize the battle.

    It's one of the more interesting battles of the Pacific theater. One of my favorites to study along with Midway. If you haven't read James Hornfischer's The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, I highly recommend it. It's a very good read.
