USS Denver (CL-58) SG radarscope image, showing the situation
at time 0100 ½, just before opening fire.
Denver is the bright spot in the center of the scope,
with other U.S. ships ahead, steaming SSW. The large white patch
at left is Kolombangara and that at right is New Georgia. The
large spot just off the Kolombangara shore is the Japanese destroyers
Minegumo and Murasame, both of which were sunk
in this action.
