Yes, he did sink the Kirishima but his nickname wasn't "Chink" it was "Ching Chong China" Lee.  He was also a five-time Olympic Gold-winning marksman.  His words on entering the battle were, "This is Ching Chong China Lee.  Stand aside.  I am coming through."
You are also only partly correct about his being "the last" to sink an enemy BB.  He WAS the last to do it in a single ship-to-ship action.  But the battle of Surigao Strait (part of the battle of Leyte Gulf) was the last battleship to battleship action in which American BBs sunk the BB Yamashiro, albeit with help from supporting cruisers.
Grant, we naval historians really expect better from you.
