Portland was a generous lady--with a hole on her stern like this, she recovered many survivors from the battle of Guadalcanal on her way back to Tulagi while under tow
She asked Bobolink to leave her alone in case of air attack, but the latter refused.
They were both brave ladies

O’B and Nick were born together but O’B and Fletcher were trained together.

O’B and Nick went to Tokyo together but O’B and Fletcher fought in Guadalcanal together.
O’Bannon is the center of the universe!

The 5"/38 Cal. DP gun was the most common AA-gun in WW2 US NAVY. This series of badges would start from the Atlanta-Class sisters who fought in the battle of Guadalcanal.
Remember the contributions of these little fellas!

Finishing the illustration of Sterett, one of the survivors from the Naval Battle off Guadalcanal.
She underwent a horrible night, and was slowly realizing the fact of staying afloat.

USS Sterett, a little hero on both the Atlantic and the Pacific, veteran of the battle of Guadalcanal and Vela Gulf, suffered from Kamikaze but survived. In her stories I see her courage and how she grew into a fighter. Nicknamed HMS Steadfast, “I hope we would prove worthy.”

Anyway, in Azur Lane, both USS South Dakota and USS Washington have voice lines directly attributed to Admiral Willis Lee, the one that command over the two of them in Pacific War and beating the crap out of Japanese fleet in Guadalcanal at night battle.

The 2nd Marine Division had combat experience in the Guadalcanal. Supported by naval guns, the Marines were able to take the coast of Betio by the end of the first day. In the following days, the Americans conducted an additional series of landings and ruin the Japanese defense.

1939, the film adaptation of the novel "Gone with the Wind" premiered in Atlanta. Author Margaret Mitchell later christened USS Atlanta (CL-51) in 1941. After the light cruiser was lost during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, Mitchell christened USS Atlanta (CL-104) in 1944.

Today's the 78th anniversary of the 2nd Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. My preferred trivia has always been this scene, many versions of which exist, here retold by the late Robert Leckie. Probably not 100% accurate, but you can't deny its entertainment value!
