The Guadalcanal Campaign ended when the battered Japanese evacuated the island on January and February 1943.
About 30,000 of their men had been lost, along with many ships and over 500 planes.
The United States and its allies lost about 7,000 men, including two aircraft carriers and 480 planes.
It is kind of strange that there wasn't one of those special edition magazine/books out in the magazine racks for this battle.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
