Japanese battleship Hiei
On 10 November 1942, "Hiei" departed Truk alongside "Kirishima" and eleven destroyers, all under the command of Rear Admiral Hiroaki Abe, to shell American positions near Henderson Field in advance of a major convoy of Japanese troops. The force was spotted by US Navy reconnaissance aircraft several days in advance. The US deployed a force of two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and eight destroyers under the command of Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan to meet the Japanese force in Ironbottom Sound. At 01:24 on 13 November, the Japanese force was detected out by the light cruiser . Because Abe had not anticipated resistance, his battleships' main guns were loaded with high-explosive shells for bombarding Henderson Field. So they were unable to open fire immediately, having to wait while armor-piercing shells were loaded instead. At 01:50, "Hiei" activated her searchlights and opened fire on the light cruiser , commencing the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. Though "Atlanta" shot out "Hiei"s searchlights, "Hiei" scored main battery hits on "Atlanta"s bridge, crippling her and killing Rear Admiral Norman Scott. "Hiei" and "Kirishima" then disabled two American destroyers (one of which later sank). In turn, "Hiei" became the target of most of the American fire, with American 5" guns inflicting severe damage on "Hiei"s superstructure at close range. hit "Hiei"s bridge, injuring Admiral Abe himself and killing his chief of staff, Captain Masakane Suzuki. The concentration on "Hiei" allowed "Kirishima" to evade attack, and she crippled , killing Admiral Callaghan. However, shells from "San Francisco" disabled "Hiei"s steering machinery.
