When a ship fires so fast and so accurately that she's nicknamed the 'machine gun cruiser', you know you're doing something right. Such was the case for USS Helena.
She lived a charmed life, off of Guadalcanal. Doing heavy damage to the Japanese, while taking little damage in turn. That is quite unlike most American cruisers, in those hectic battles. Unfortunately, Helena's own luck would run out, later on. At the Battle of Kula Gulf.
Even then, she kept most of her crew alive.
