For those who don’t know about Savo Island and Admiral McCain’s incompetence...

“...a lapse in McCain’s leadership of his forces significantly contributed to the Allied defeat and heavy losses in one of the naval battles around Guadalcanal. McCain had been requested to conduct extra reconnaissance missions over “The Slot” in the Solomon Islands on August 8, 1942. For reasons never explained, McCain failed to order the missions as requested, and furthermore, didn’t inform the Allied naval commanders at Guadalcanal that they weren’t carried out. As a result, Allied naval forces were surprised and defeated in the Battle of Savo Island on August 9, a defeat that jeopardized the entire Guadalcanal operation for the Allies.”
