日军在波纳佩经过连日激战，补给消耗的速度大大高于天蝗的预期，眼看就支持不住，天蝗不得已组织了东京快车对岛上日军进行补给，不幸被盟军太平洋舰队堵着正着，水面车轮战后全歼了这支东京快车运输队的10余艘APD，还顺带击沉了护航的水面战队日军轻巡天盐号和吹雪级驱逐舰一艘。
  }8 `; Z8 T" i5 `# T
7 y7 P& L! }5 v本次战斗为太平洋舰队2年多来第一次上规模的水面战，盟军水兵在能见度恶劣的情况下利用雷达给予日军有利打击，不过在战斗中也暴露出了盟军水兵技艺不精，炮击组织不利，人浮于事等各种弊端。战斗结束后太平洋舰队指战官兵纷纷表示要充分总结经验教训，刻苦磨砺水面战技术，积极相应9527大统领要求部队“能打仗，打硬仗，打胜仗”的号召，争取从胜利走向更大的胜利。
