The destroyers were USS Nicholas, USS Taylor, USS O’Bannon, USS Strong, USS Chevalier, and USS Radford, probably in that order. The cruisers were probably USS Honolulu, USS Helena, USS Nashville, and USS St. Louis. This was probably taken during the transit of Indispensable Strait in the southern Solomon Islands bound for Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides.
