She took part in the Battle off Samar, notably where the Japanese main battle group were driven off by a couple of Fletchers, CVEs, and Destroyer Escorts(Cheaper and slower destroyers) after they somehow managed to convince the enemy fleet that they were fighting a force of heavy cruisers and fleet carriers whilst trading shots with the enemy fleet, including the CVEs.

And not just get driven off, but actually lose 3 heavy cruisers to the Taffys. The Suyuza being one of them, and lost to a single near miss.

I don't know how much more could go wrong for a ship.
