SUMMARY:Speaker Series: The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal
DESCRIPTION:The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal\, which took place from November 12-15\, 1942\, was the decisive engagement in a series of naval battles between Allied (primarily American) and Imperial Japanese forces during World War II. \nOn November 13\, 1942\, a violent explosion engulfed USS Juneau (CL-52) and the ship seemed to vanish from sight. Catastrophically hit by torpedoes from Japanese submarine I-26\, the ship sank in less than a minute with most of its 693 crewmen onboard. About 115 Sailors survived the sinking\, but only 10 were rescued after days at sea.
