Yes the ship did it in the Pacific

Ok it was a DE built during WW II and named after a Naval officer who died on the USS Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

No that is not correct.

The Bennion was DD.

The ship that sunk 5 Japanese subs in 8 days was a DE.

Nope.

Ok one more hint and this will probably give it away.

While the ship is named after an Ensign who died on the Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor, it also is the name of a country.

Tough question!

In the winter/spring of 1942, the crew of the Finnish submarine fleet received training in using a new underwater respirator. What was the name of this specific underwater respirator brand?

(If it is too hard I'll have another one ready)

I know but I am not telling! (NEON's way of saying he hasn't got a clue)
