" Duncan " was launched 20 February 1942 by Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co . , Kearny , New Jersey ; sponsored by Mrs . D . C . Thayer ; and commissioned 16 April 1942 , Lieutenant Commander E . B . Taylor in command . Service history . " Duncan " sailed from New York on 20 June 1942 for the South Pacific , arrived at Espiritu Santo on 14 September to join TFs 17 and 18 , and with them departed the same day to cover transports carrying the 7th Marine Regiment to reinforce Guadalcanal . " Duncan " was in the screen of next day when the task force was attacked by two Japanese submarine s . " Wasp " was torpedoed , and so severely damaged that she had to be sunk by United States ships . " Duncan " picked up survivors from the carrier , transferring 701 officers and men to other ships , and 18 wounded and 2 bodies to the base hospital at Espiritu Santo upon her arrival 16 September . " Duncan " continued to operate from Espiritu Santo to the Solomons , screening transports and ships of the covering forces . On 11 October 1942 , she was in the screen of Task Force 64 ( TF 64 ) which was assigned to protect a vital transport convoy carrying reinforcements to Guadalcanal . Contact was made with a large enemy surface force just as the American ships were executing a course change as part of their battle plan . " Duncan " , having a clear radar contact and seeing her flagship apparently steady upon a course which would close the target , believed the destroyers were closing to attack , and found herself charging alone toward the enemy force . In the resulting Battle of Cape Esperance , " Duncan " pumped several salvos into a cruiser , then shifted fire to a destroyer , at the same time maneuvering radically to avoid enemy fire and that from her own forces , who were now joining in the attack . She got off two torpedoes toward her first target , , and kept firing until hits she had received put her out of action . The commanding officer ordered the bridge , isolated by fire , abandoned , and the wounded lowered into life rafts . The men on board attempted to beach the ship on Savo Island , but then , believing she might yet be saved made a gallant fight to halt the raging fires until power failed , forcing the ship ' s abandonment . Destroyer McCalla rescued 195 men from the shark - infested waters and made an attempt to salvage " Duncan " , but she sank on 12 October 1942 , about 6 miles north of Savo Island . Awards . " Duncan " received one battle star for World War II service .

The confrontation was between the forces of the Zebrzydowski Rebellion ( 10 , 000 infantry and 600 cavalry under Mikołaj Zebrzydowski and Janusz Radziwiłł ) against the Royalists supporting King Sigismund III Vasa ( 9 , 100 infantry , 3 , 200 cavalry , and 24 cannon ) , under the command of Polish Grand Crown Hetman ( commander - in - chief ) Stanisław Żółkiewski and the Lithuanian Hetman Jan Karol Chodkiewicz . Conflict . The " Zebrzydowski rebellion " was waged by a large number of Polish - Lithuanian nobles ( szlachta ) who had many grievances against the King ; who , as a Swede , concerned himself regaining his Swedish throne . The Royal Army was originally sent to pacify the rebels . However , a full - scale battle ensued in the village , with 200 casualties , and it ended with the Royalists routing the rebellious factions . During the next twelve months new " insurrections " burst forth all over the country ; and peace was only last resorted by the proclamation ( 1609 ) of a general amnesty , which punished nobody and decided nothing . The growing unwillingness of the Grand Hetman Żółkiewski " to shed the blood of our brethren " was the cause of this unsatisfactory solution . The helpless King was obliged to concur , and henceforth abandoned all his projects of constitutional reform . 2007 mention . A Polish politician resurrected this battle after 400 years . In a newspaper interview on March 16 , 2007 with " Rzeczpospolita " , the opposition leader Jan Rokita , who was expected to win the September 25 , 2005 Polish elections , said : In other words , the Battle of Guzów has to be repeated with the current government of President Lech Kaczyński defeating the opposition . The government will not accept that their position is wrong . However , in the long run , some of them will wise up and concede when none of their conservative plans are implemented . Notes . As with many historical battles , the exact details of force composition , tactics , and the actual course of the battle are lacking and sometimes contradictory . The area around the village of Guzów also saw action during World War I . See :

Battle of Mursa Major The Battle of Mursa Major was fought in AD 351 between the eastern Roman armies led by Constantius II and the western forces supporting the usurper Magnentius . The action took place somewhere along the valley of the Drava River , a Danube tributary in present day Croatia . Before the battle , Constantius sent Flavius Philippus , his Praetorian prefect , to negotiate with Magnentius , requiring that the usurper withdraw back to Gaul . After this inconclusive mission , one of Magnentius ' commanders , the Frankish Claudius Silvanus , and most of his men deserted to Constantius , thus helping seal the outcome . The battle was one of the bloodiest in Roman military history . According to Zonaras ( xiii 8 . 17 ) , Magnentius lost upwards of two - thirds of his troops , and Constantius about half of his army , for a total of well over 50 , 000 casualties , this at a time when the Empire was under severe external pressure from invading Goths , Alamanni and Persians , as well as internal dissensions and rebellions . There was also a religious meaning to the conflict . Magnentius had restored some rights to the pagans , while Constantius even left the battlefield to pray on the nearby tomb of a Christian martyr . The bishop of Mursa , Valens , told the pious Emperor that an angel had reported to him the news of the victory , thus ending any chance of a pagan revival . Magnentius , who had lost in the battle his most loyal supporter " magister officiorum " Marcellinus , would suffer another , final defeat , two years later at Mons Seleucus .
