5 usn DD SUNK outright


every other enemy ship sustained damage in the battle

7 of my ships, DD i believe have taken damage, and are heading to shortland to dock and make temp repairs before heading up to rabaul, possibly truk

there will be another un, and a bombardment run as well


the TF was part of a 35 ship force designed to gain control of the slot in 1 swift massive overpowering stroke

yes, tulagi and GC have fallen to the enemy

but a tranny force is already sailing down the slot to land reinforcements near henderson AF to RETAKE it

[marky]

another big naval engagement as the USN attempts to retake control of the slot, and block the 2 prong counter attack against henderson AF
