It's Furutaka.

Says first ship of her class, laid down in early December, participated in a night battle in the Solomons. Furutaka was part of the battle of Savo Island (at night) and was laid down December 5.

The only other first ship of a heavy cruiser class who participated in night battles in the Solomons were Aoba and Takao, and neither of them were laid down in December.
