The "caption" text is wrong, as the Denver was not present in the action on 6 July 1943, known as the battle of Kula Gulf. Note the writing on the photo itself - it says Mar 6, and this corresponds to the battle of Blackett Strait, in this same area.

Denver is the bright spot in the center of the scope, with USS Cleveland (CL-55) and USS Montpelier (CL-57) ahead of her, still heading SSW. USS Conway (DD-507) and USS Waller (DD-466) are further ahead, starting to turn north. Kolombangara is the large white patch at left, with one of the Japanese ships showing as a faint spot offshore in the upper left center. Arundel Island is in the lower left and New Georgia is on the right.
