• "Just after supper four transports were torpedoed in harbor. It was really terrible to see them burn. One...was full of ammunition and air bombs, also 400,000 pounds of frozen beef." - George S. Patton

• Admiral Turner's transports drop off another regiment of the Americal Division under Major General Alexander Patch on Guadalcanal.
