Night Battles of Guadalcanal

The Night Battles of Guadalcanal were intense military engagements between Japanese and Allied naval forces during World War II, mainly in late 1942. Conducted under the cover of darkness, these battles involved ships and aircraft trying to gain control of the seas around the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Using radar, communication, and night-vision tactics, both sides aimed to surprise and outmaneuver each other without the advantage of daylight visibility. These battles were crucial in preventing Japanese reinforcement and supply, ultimately contributing to the Allied victory in the Guadalcanal campaign.
