In October 1942, the U.S. Navy confronted the Imperial Japanese Navy off Guadalcanal in the Battle of Cape Esperance. As darkness enveloped both fleets, neither knew exactly where the other was. The ensuing battle would dramatically influence the Pacific campaign’s trajectory…

Thanks For yet another amazing work! Love these naval battles

👍👍👍
Great video as always HOH!
What’s the song at 2:35 ?
Please do a collab with Drachinifel sometime
Love your videos keep them up!
I like naval history, you have several times uploaded the history of the naval world war that took place in the Indonesian seas, which I myself, an Indonesian, never knew about it because the history teachers at school and Indonesian Muslims were afraid of the fact that the allies had defended Indonesia from Japanese attacks.
freedom is in segregation…
At 3:25 you show a picture of RADM Daniel Callahan and call him Scott
A "new moon" is too close to the sun to be visible. In fact, the moon was young, not new: it was a waxing crescent. The moon was not hidden by clouds; it had set not long after the sun had.
You seem to get your astronomy from "The Walrus and the Carpenter":
"The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright —
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night."
Yeah, I know this sounds harsh, but this is very basic stuff. Sorry, but if you don't understand that a crescent moon will not be "hidden behind clouds" at around midnight, it is very unlikely that you are sufficiently aware of the world you live in to KNOW that the earth is not flat; you have only been taught to say that it is not flat.
Most people, sadly, are probably in the same group as you; they know what the USA looks like from the moon, though they have never been to the moon, but they do not know what the moon looks like from the USA, even if they live in the USA. That's why pictures of the moon on TV shows or in movies are often mirror reversed, views only visible from space, or just random dark blobs on a white circle. This predates the Internet; my guess is that it is a product of urbanization and electric lights.

Another wonderful historical coverage video was shared by an amazing ( house of history) channel… video about naval strokes between allies' task forces and Japanese express operators… nearby Guadalcanal island …thanks for sharing….
I can't believe someone hasn't done an animated video of the Task Force 17 air raid on Tulagi right before
the battle of the Coral Sea
in the style of the History Channel's "Battle 360" series.
Artillery odds of the battle: USN 19-8", 30-6", 20-5" vs NTK 18-8", 12-5" (main batteries only)
Just a small critique is alot of the ships look a little fat in this video but not the others
Picture of Norman Scott at beginning is wrong. That is the picture of Rear Admiral Daniel Callaghan when he was the Captain of USS San Francisco. Both he and Norman Scott were killed on November 13, 1942, during the opening engagement of The Battle of Guadalcanal.
Jeez, what a slug fest.
Battle of tassaforenga soon?
What a messy engagement
thank you for your videos
There is a new article by Robert Lundgren about the Nov 13th battle you should look at for making that video. Very new information that is pretty incredible.
This series keeps me on the edge of my seat. Please continue. Many thanks
Battle of empress Augusta bay
A confusing n chaotic battle for sure. Great video.
Guadalcanal the navy died to save the marines. And when you look at the casualties Guadalcanal broke japans back, not midway. Midway was just the best single day or two but Guadalcanal was daily attrition
The Naval fog of war!
In this battle Boise and her sister Helena were nicknamed Machine guns because of the press because they can fire 10 rounds per barrel which is impressive and it turned the tables in that fight.
2:52 Mikawa was a vice admiral (and the photo shows him with vice admiral rank) not a rear admiral at this point in the war. He was promoted to VADM in 1940.
3:07 VADM Robert Ghormley was COMSOPAC and was the immediate superior to Scott in command of TF-64 (and VADM Mikawa's counterpart for the campaign). His Staff would have issued the orders to TF-64, not CINCPACFLT.
