** Second crusier reported damaged at the same time as Myoko was thought sunk. Later sources say this was the destroyer Ushio and sustained no damage.  A 5" shell from a counter attack by the Ushio passed through the Bergall pressure hull above the waterline forcing her to return to port for repairs.  To read the full account please see this LINK.
