IJN Chokai suffered a similar fate:

As it was busily pounding Taffy 3, a five incher (best information says was fired from Kalinin Bay) hit amidships and again set off torpedoes. Which took out her engines and rudder. Moments later she was hit with a 500 lb er which was the Coup de Grace.

They say she was scuttled, but if she was sinking anyway....
National pride again, yet nothing more than speeding up the inevitable.

The Germans (could) say this about the Bismarck, the Italians about the Roma, the British about the Hood, the Americans about the Arizona....
