USS Blue (DD-387) transferring survivors off Guadalcanal on 9 August 1942
1942
"Men wounded in the Battle of Tulagi Island being removed from the USS Blue (DD-387) to the USS Neville (AP-16), 7-8-9 August 1942." (quoted from the original caption). This photograph was probably taken on 9 August, as Blue was transferring survivors of the Battle of Savo Island, which had taken place during the previous night.
