The Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, sometimes referred to as the Third Battle of Savo Island or, in Japanese sources, as the Third Battle of the Solomon Sea (第三次ソロモン海戦), took place
November 12–
November 15,
1942, and was the decisive battle in a series of
naval battles that took place between
Allied (primarily
U.S.) and
Japanese forces during the months-long
Guadalcanal campaign in the
Solomon Islands. The battle consisted of a sequence of combined air and sea engagements spread over four days, most of them in the vicinity of
Guadalcanal. All of the engagements were directly related to a single effort by the Japanese to reinforce their land forces on Guadalcanal, and are all therefore considered to be different parts of the same battle.
