text:  On 28 August , 600 of Kawaguchi 's troops were loaded onto the destroyers Asagiri , Amagiri , Yugiri , and <unk> , designated Destroyer Division 20 ( <unk> ) . Because of a shortage of fuel , <unk> could not make the entire round trip to Guadalcanal at high speed in one night , but had to start the trip earlier in the day so that they could complete the trip by the next morning at a slower speed which conserved fuel . At 18 : 05 that day , 11 U.S. dive bombers from VMSB @-@ 232 under the command of Lt. Col. Richard <unk> , flew from Henderson Field and located and attacked <unk> about 70 mi ( 110 km ) north of Guadalcanal , sinking Asagiri and heavily damaging Yugiri and <unk> . Amagiri took <unk> in tow and the three destroyers returned to the Shortlands without completing their mission . The attack on <unk> killed 62 of Kawaguchi 's soldiers and 94 crew members .
