One of the naval engagements of the Guadalcanal campaign, the Battle of Cape Esperance involved a cruiser-destroyer group under Rear Admiral Norman Scott against an armed "Tokyo Express" convoy commanded by Vice Admiral Gunichi Mikawa. On the night of 11-12 October, the U.S sank a cruiser and destroyer and lost a desoyer. This engagement also gave a safe passage to a U.S, troop reinforcement coming from New Caledonia.
