Ok I've managed to expand the orbat, especially on the IJN side, but the links needs a lot more help. So if any could dab them I would really appreciate it.--Chinfo 07:12, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] San Francisco force

VADM William S. Pye sailed out of San Francisco with 7 battleships and some destroyers as escorts. Even though they did not come near the battle, they need to be included in the "Order of battle". The battleships were Pennsylvania (flagship), Maryland, Tennessee, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, and Mississippi. I do not have the list of destroyers. They sailed out of San Francisco, and when their help was no longer needed, they turned and sailed into San Diego.
