The worst defeat in USN history was the "Battle of Savo Island" in August of '42. One of many sea fights surrounding the bitterly contested islands around Guadalcanal. At Savo Island, the USN and Australians suffered over a thousand dead sailors and 3 US and 1 Australian heavy cruisers sunk; no Japanese warships were sunk. The USN was so ashamed of it's defeat, that one of the USN cruiser commanders committed suicide after the battle.
