		Leander was badly damaged by a torpedo in the opening moments of the action, then the failure to promptly identify the destroyers of the Japanese escort force allowed them to reach a position to launch torpedoes that blew up the destroyer USS Gwin (DD 433) and damaged the cruisers USS Honolulu and USS St. Louis.
