Americans Win Pacific Naval Battle Tragedy Sinks McCawley
The Pacific clash includes the sinking of the troopship McCawley by Japanese air and submarine forces after discharging troops. Japanese air actions against American control in the Solomons prompt continued air defense, as 166 enemy planes are claimed shot down in the area since the offensive began. The destroyer Strong, under Comdr Joseph Hardy Wellings, was torpedoed and sunk near Georgia Island. American Liberator bombers hit Ballale, while Kula Gulf battles imply continued light-ship actions with cruisers and destroyers. Western and southern Solomons approaches remain under U.S. control as forces press toward Munda.
