Over 7,000 US servicemen died at Guadalcanal. Contrary to popular opinion, and the Television "History Channel/Military Channel" Guadalcanal episode, which was hosted by retired US Army General Norman Schwarzkopf; Guadalcanal not a "Marine Battle", Guadalcanal was a small Marine Corps action (compared to Tarawa and Iwo Jima), and a MASSIVE US Navy campaign (which was quickly glossed over in the televised segment). Approximately 1,769 US Marines perished on Guadalcanal, and about 420 US Airmen; but close to 5,000 US Sailors died fighting from 27 US Navy warships that were sunk, in histories most savage and furious sea battles, surrounding the Guadalcanal islands.
