17 EAB

0318 IJN CA’s attempt to extricate themselves from a very deadly space by making a port turn. Unfortunately their speed at this point is only between 10-15 kts so they don’t get very far. The USN commander with a similar though...

16 EAB

View of DesRon 10 opening up on Montpelier

15 EAB

0315 More point blank gunnery from both sides with damage accumulating on Columbia, Cleveland Haguro and Myoko. Agano and the rest of DesRon 10 smother Montpelier with 6” and 5” fire yet score no hits!

14 EAB

Haguro’s spread of 4 Type 93s intersect Denver’s course resulting in 1 hit resulting in catastrophic hull and engineering damage. As a result she is slowed to 10 kts

13 EAB

12 EAB

0315 In an attempt to avoid collision the IJN cruisers make turn to starboard. This causes the Haguro cutting through the USN line resulting in a glancing impact with Cleveland. This caused minimal hull damage to both ships as...

11 EAB

0312 IJN torpedoes have hit and a close range gun fire ensues. None of the shooting was over 4000 yards and it was rapid firing 6” vs IJN 8” with opposing formations on collision course. Haguro targets Cleveland, while Myoko ta...

10 EAB

Wider view of Desron 3 torpedo attack. Also visible is a disastrous collision of force about to unfold as the IJN appears out of the squall line at point blank range. One of the DDs in DesDiv 46 manages to get 10 torpedoes off...

09 EAB

Desron 3 after launching torpedoes turns away under the cover of smoke. The wreck of Sendai and their torpedo launch points visible astern.

08 EAB

0312 USN CruDiv 12 counter marches with a turn in succession and the IJN torpedoes lance through the formation after a run of approx. 8000 yards. Columbia and Cleveland (still not visually acquired) each obligingly take a Type...

0303-0306 Sendai makes a hard port turn but is pummeled by 17 6” hits resulting in her rapid demise. She does manage to get off a spread of 2 Type 90’s at the USN cruiser formation at a range of 9000 yards. At 0309 her consorts...

0300 Montpelier of CruDiv 12 opens fire on the northern most IJN formation targeting the lead ship Sendai (flag of DesRon3)

05 EAB

0257 Closer view of IJN approach to the squall line. The column of 2 is Haguro and Myoko and have already been detected by DesDiv 45. The column of 4 lead by Agano (flag DesRon 10) has so far remained undetected.

04EAB

0257 DesDiv 45 in the lead followed by CruDiv 12 and lead ship of DesDiv 46 just entering. DesDiv 45 has contact with 2 IJN formations but the approaching squall line is making it difficult to contact the 3rd IJN formations. T...

0248 A snooper closes for a closer look and pays the price

02 EAB

View from the IJN perspective

01 EAB

0245 Local DesDiv 45 steaming at 20 kts on course 340. In the distance approx. at approx. 15 Kyds is a heavy squall line. Beyond the squall at just over 30 Kyds 3 IJN formations approach. IJN snooper skirting the storms but tra...
