On the night of October 11–12, 1942, off Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal, the U.S. Navy won its first surface victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific War — two months after the catastrophic defeat at Savo Island. Rear Admiral Norman Scott's cruiser-destroyer force sank the cruiser Furutaka and the destroyer Fubuki and mortally wounded Japanese Admiral Aritomo Gotō, but the "decisive win" was built on a botched turn, a misread radio call, and a solo torpedo run gone rogue. This episode tells the real story behind the headline — and why the false lessons it taught helped set up disaster at Tassafaronga two months later.
