Daly would soon depart New York and transit through the Panama Canal to the Pacific, initially arriving at San Diego. Daly would be in the screen of the new Essex-class carrier Lexington (CV-16), named after the carrier earlier lost during the Battle of the Coral Sea.
In the Pacific, advances in the Solomon Islands continued with initial landings in New Georgia; a larger invasion of the island would begin soon.
