During the Battle of Samar, Samuel B. Roberts put up a spirited defense against a fleet that included Kongou and Yamato. While sinking in the Battle, her determined effort and the rest of Taffy 3's resistance caused the Japanese to overestimate the size of their opposing fleet, causing them to retreat.
