Summary[edit]

Description The U.S. Navy convoy at sea, circa 1942. The destroyer to the right is USS Wilson (DD-408), which served in the Atlantic until June 1942 and was thereafter in the Pacific. The ship at the far left is a New Orleans-class heavy cruiser. It is possible that this view is of the Guadalcanal-Tulagi invasion convoy, in July-August 1942.
