When the Americans invaded Guadalcanal on August 7, 1942, Vice Adm. Robert L. Ghormley was in overall command of the Southwest Pacific Theater. Vice Adm. William F. Halsey relieved Ghormley as theater commander on Oct. 18, 1942 and led the Americans to victory when the Americans took control of the island on February 9, 1943.
