Second Battle of Guadalcanal

Hey Everyone!

I'm back with another World War 2 scenario for all of you to enjoy, this time the infamous "Second Battle of Guadalcanal"! Most of the included platforms are the correct ones, and for the few that the correct platform isn't currently in CMANO, another appropriate one was subbed-in.

I hope you all enjoy this second-to-last "Clash of Dreadnoughts"!


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playable Sides: United States of America Navy, Imperial Japanese Navy
Location: Ironbottom Sound, Guadalcanal
Date: November 15, 1944;

Situation:
It has been almost one full year since the United States of America entered into World War 2 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. War rages across the pacific, with some of the largest and fiercest naval and land battles to have ever occured raging in 1942 like Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal.

After being repulsed a couple of days before, the Japanese battlefleet under Admiral Kondo are making another run at the US forces off Guadalcanal with the intention of driving them off and bombarding the American Marines on the Island. Little does Admiral Kondo know that Admiral Halsey has dispatched reinforcementrs to Guadalcanal in the form of the newest Battleships available, Washington and South Dakota. What follows is the first of two Battleship v Battleship fights in the Pacific Theater of World War 2, and one of the fiercest surface engagements of all time.

Historical Outcome:
The American Battleships had much superior radar guided fire-control, and despite the South Dakota temporarily loosing all electrical power and suffering almost 14 direct hits, Washington was able to land accurate first shots on the Japanese fleet and devastated the Kirishima witha point-blank salvo with her 16" guns, cracking open Kirishima's armor like a tin can. Kirishima would shortly after sink and the entire Japanese force would be sunk or driven off. This battle would be the second major American naval victor over Japan in World War 2, after Midway, and was the surest sign that the American Navy was now the superior one in the Pacific.
