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。
4 s, e) _5 S- c
8 M2 I7 \* Z) U9 ~& a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。" b  K7 {8 J& j  ^, F6 G

天亮之后，巡弋的波纳佩海域的58战斗机官兵惊喜的发现有几百架日军运输机排着整齐的队形向波纳佩飞来，准备强行空投补给。盟军指战员当然毫不客气照单全收，击落日本大艇和运输机200余架，大获全胜。
