  • Battle off Horaniu: Japanese destroyers Sazanami, Hamakaze, Isokaze and Shigure with subchasers Cha-5 and Cha-12 and 3 motor torpedo boats were escorting 13 Diahatsu barges bound for Horaniu on Vella Lavella Islands, Solomon Islands to establish a barge depot to assist with evacuating bypassed Japanese troops on Kolombangara. An American destroyer force of USS Nicholas, USS Chevalier, USS O’Bannon, and USS Taylor intercepted the Japanese convoy. The barges found refuge in the many coves along Vella Lavella’s north shore but two Japanese subchasers, two motor torpedo boats, and at least one barge were sunk. The Japanese were able to establish a barge depot at Horaniu and barges operating from this depot would eventually evacuate 9,000 Japanese troops from Kolombangara. ww2dbase [Solomon Islands Campaign | Nicholas | Vella Lavella, Solomon Islands | DS]

  • Just after midnight, destroyer USS Saufley and her convoy of 12 troop landing ships departed Barakoma, Vella Lavella bound for Green Island north of Bougainville.

Saufley made a speed run to Blanche Harbor, Treasury Islands where the patient was transferred to the base hospital. Saufley then steamed at high speed to rejoin the convoy in the early evening. ww2dbase [Saufley | Vella Lavella, Solomon Islands | DS]
