In World War II, who were the Allied forces participating in the Pacific Offensive?

About 80 ships of the Allied forces participating in the "Observation Tower" operation came from Wellington (New Zealand), Sydney, Noumea (New Caledonia), and San Diego, which were far away. Departing from Pearl Harbor and other places, it assembled in the waters south of the Fiji Islands on July 26, 1942. Vice Admiral Fletcher held an operational meeting on the flagship "Saratoga" aircraft carrier. General Gormley, who had moved his headquarters to Noumea, was unable to attend the meeting. He sat in the rear and could neither see his fleet nor study the battle plan with his main commanders. After the fleet held a less than ideal landing exercise in Fiji, it headed west, turned north in the Coral Sea, and headed for Guadalcanal in the rain. The bad weather prevented all Japanese aircraft, including reconnaissance aircraft, from taking off. In the early morning of August 7, the aircraft carrier task force headed by the aircraft carriers "Saratoga", "Enterprise" and "Wasp" sailed to the designated waters south of Guadalcanal, and the amphibious combat formation commanded by Turner Quietly sailing north along the west coast of Guadalcanal and sailing near the small Savo Island, the troops split into two groups and entered what was later called "Iron Bottom Bay" (in the months-long battle that followed, both sides Many ships were sunk here, hence the name) waters, all the way to Guadalcanal, and the other way to Tulagi Island and two other small islands. At 5:30, Dauntless dive bombers taking off from the aircraft carrier began bombing the two islands. At 6:15, the amphibious formation's naval guns opened fire. The 2,000 Japanese engineers on Guadalcanal were still asleep and unprepared. Only small groups of troops hid in snipers or fired with machine guns. When most of the Japanese soldiers saw the American troops approaching, they fled into the jungle. On the 8th, in memory of Lieutenant Colonel Loftan Henderson, the Marine flying hero who died in the air over Midway Island, the 1st Marine Division named the Guadalcanal Airport acquired "Henderson" Airport.
