Action in Kula Gulf, 6 March 1943
USS Denver (CL-58) SG radarscope image, showing the situation
at time 0105 ¾, as the U.S. force was firing on Japanese
destroyers Minegumo and Murasame.
Denver is the bright spot in the center of the scope,
with other U.S. ships steaming SSW ahead of her. The large white
patch at left is Kolombangara, with the two Japanese ships showing
as spots just offshore. Murasame, dead in the water, is
the smaller spot. Minegumo's movement makes her spot appear
larger. The large white patch at right is New Georgia.
Both Japanese destroyers were sunk in this engagement.
