Only History: Battle of Badung Strait
The Battle of Bali was the second major naval battle between Allied forces and Japanese landing ships. Bali was an important island because it was located directly next to the Japanese main objective, Java. The Allied forces included several cruisers, a dozen destroyers, and torpedo boats. They faced four Japanese destroyers and one transport. I'll tell you what came out of it today.
