Copy negative of Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., US Navy commander of the South Pacific Force, presenting the Navy Cross to Rear Admiral Willis A. Lee, US Navy, aboard a warship in the South Pacific. Admiral Lee led a task force against a Japanese force which was trying to reinforce Guadalcanal on the night of November 14-15.

His direction of the force was conducted with great professional skill and personal daring."
