In a previous post I listed my jotted notes on JFK's pre-PT 59 Solomons timeline.

-- Underway/arrived at Russell Islands October 9.

-- Returned to Guadalcanal w/Navy & Marine
passengers, then back to Russells October 10.

-- Underway/arrived at Rendova October 11.

-- PT 59 ordered to Lambu Lambu Cove, Vella Lavella October 18.

-- Rescue mission of Marines off Choiseul November 1.

-- Final patrol of PT 59 under JFK November 16.

-- JFK ordered to hospital at Tulagi November 18.
