I'm going to have to look up where Savo Island is. Who named these ships anyway? I think they were naming them after Senators' hometowns or something.

Oh that one was a bit of a black eye for the USA in the Guadalcanal campaign.
We lost four ships and slowed up the reinforcements and supplies to the Marines on Guadalcanal. Was mentioned in The Pacific. The Marines set resting after long battles and watched the Battle of Savo Island's and seeing the ships at night ablaze.
