Because , of the urgency of seizing and occupy ng Guadalcanal, planning was - not up 1 to the usual thorough standard*. Certain communication failure* made a bad situation worse. Fatigue was a contributing factor in the degree of alertnesa maintained Generally speaking, however, we were suprlsed because we , 'acked experience.” King disclosed —for the first time, officially that the Allied forces in the Savo island engagement were under the Immediate command of Bear Admiral Vic tory A.
