Description"Guadalcanal" by Paul S. Newman. April-June 1964.The Marines are now on their own at Guadalcanal, but with the airfield in their hands. Historical note: The Allies lost the cruisers USS Astoria, Quincy, and Vincennes, and the Australian heavy cruiser Canberra in this first battle of Savo Island. Why didn't the victorious Japanese attack the now unprotected transport and supply ships? The Japanese decided not to continue because they didn't know the disposition of the remaining Allied warships and feared being attacked by US carrier planes, according to Wikipedia. They didn't know the carriers had withdrawn from the battle area. They also would need time to regroup their forces and reload torpedo tubes and already had used much of their ammunition. They also knew that further attacks might cost them heavy cruisers that they couldn't replace because there were none under construction. Social/Sharing |

In the vast Pacific, fuel almost always plays a part of decisions to press forward or to retreat. Just more great first hand accounts turned into vivid imagery before they became lost memories.

If they really want to experience pain, try wearing a corset.
Don't judge me Peter.

AS horrific as actual war is (for both sides involved in it) I do find it interesting to hear about how different sides approached their strategy especially when seemingly the decision one side made makes no sense to the other (and perhaps vice versa). Another great war history lesson and nice Glanzman page!

Thanks, Kavi! Agree. Best question is why. I didn't know the reasons behind the Japanese decision until I wrote the descriptions!

This page gives you a sense of what it must have felt like to be in such a situation where you're, not "abandoned" per se, but simply in a situation where you're cut off from your own people and are wide open to attack with almost no defense available to protect yourselves. Can't let this go without mentioning how great the drybrush is!
