Something from Wikipedia - Battle of Savo Island

On 9 August 1942,  Tenryū was in the  Battle of Savo Island, together with the cruisers  Yūbari,  Aoba,  Kako,  Kinugasa,  Furutaka, and  Chōkai, and the destroyer Yūnagi, which attacked US Task Group 62.6 that was screening transports with  Allied invasion forces for Guadalcanal. During nighttime gun and torpedo action, Tenryū sank the cruiser  USS Quincy with two torpedoes. She also contributed to sinking the cruisers  USS Astoria,  Vincennes, and  HMAS Canberra. In addition, the cruiser  USS Chicago<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> and destroyers  USS Ralph Talbot<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> and  Patterson<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> were damaged.
