My opponent (IJN) got away with one... I think the Thunderstorms and relative inexperience of the Allies account for this one. (San Francisco was the only allied ship to engage)

Just another reason to toss disposable escorts in :D

Poor brave fools probably charges the CA while the other ships fled...
