Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
If you want to learn more about Savo Island and Guadalcanal in general, I highly recommend Neptune's Inferno by James D. Hornfischer. Its a fantastically well written account of the US navy at Guadalcanal.
You'll learn things you never knew about the battles and the men and ships that fought in them, many of which we have in game! One example I found pretty funny: While Atlanta was fitting out in New York, the crew practiced aiming their guns by targeting and training them on the above ground rail!
This guy's content is pure quality, I HIGHLY recommend you check out his Pearl Harbor video, the sheer amount of detail + PoV shots is insane.
This is one amazing documentary.
