0200 13 July 1943. After the first part of the battle of Kolombangara, the outcome had been fairly balanced. Both sides had lost a light cruiser and the remaining forces were widely dispersed. Unknown to Admiral Ainsworth, the Japanese had regrouped and were returning to rejoin the fight. Ainsworth set out after the supposedly retreating Japanese but again due to the Japanese radar detection, he was at a disadvantage in terms of knowing where the enemy was and what it's intentions were.
