HMS Glorius Sunk by Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. 
 
Oh, USS Gambier Bay, Sunk by Japanese gunfire during the battle off Sanmar.

Just found the same thing as to Umi for Gambier Bay:  "Where"... something like 11°31′N 126°12′E.  Google doesn't help much with location further.

HMS Formidable holds the only time that an aircraft carrier used her guns against another warship contributing in the sinking of the Italian cruisers Zara, Fiume, and Pola during the battle of Matapan. The engagement was almost at point blank range!
