As I have been given to understand, Cape Esperance is called "the most tragic victory in the history of the USN." The American tactics and Scott's adherence to them were reinforced, quite wrongly, by the American victory in the battle. Bad lessons were learned and continued.
In any case, this should go to it's own thread.
