The Japanese approach was not detected and the Allied commanders were not expecting a night attack. The superb Japanese night fighting ability and their JPN 61cm type 93 long lance torpedoes resulted in the sinking of 4 Allied heavy cruisers. The Japanese withdrew without attacking the transports as the whereabouts of the American carriers was not known. | |
