中午12时20分,龙骧号出动6架九七式舰上攻击机和15架零式舰上战斗机联同由拉包尔起飞的24架一式陆上攻击机和14架零式攻击亨德森机场。不过,龙骧号出动的飞机并不知道,来自拉包尔的飞机因为遇到恶劣天气,已经在11时30分返回自己的基地。龙骧号的飞机在飞向瓜达尔卡纳尔岛时被萨拉托加号上的雷达截获,使得美军进一步确定了即将遭到攻击的龙骧号的位置。[34]龙骧号的飞机在下午2时23分抵达了亨德森机场的上空,在轰炸时与亨德森机场的战斗机(仙人掌航空队(英语:Cactus Air Force)的成员)缠斗。共有3架九七式舰上攻击机、3架零式舰上战斗机和3架美军战斗机被击落,并没有对亨德森机场造成明显的损坏。[35]
Frank, Guadalcanal, 159, Evans, Japanese Navy, p. 160–162. 田中的神通号和日本驱逐舰阳炎号已经在8月11日离开日本在特鲁克的基地以针对盟军在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛的登陆。在特鲁克,田中被授予指挥瓜达尔卡纳尔岛增援部队(后来被盟军称之为东京快车),是隶属日本海军第八舰队及其舰艇被分配专责给在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛的日军部队提供增援。其4艘巡逻艇包括前驱逐舰岛风号、滩风号、铃木号和茑号被转为负责运送部队。3艘运输舰分别是金龙丸、波士顿丸和大福丸。来自一木支队的“第1战斗群”的917名士,包括一木本人,在8月19日早上由6艘驱逐舰运送至瓜达尔卡纳尔岛。
Hammel, Carrier Clash, 158; 早在8月22日,美军驱逐舰布鲁号(英语:USS Blue (DD-387))被日军驱逐舰江风号(日语:江風 (白露型駆逐艦))以鱼雷在瓜达尔卡纳尔岛附近击沉。当时江风号与另一艘驱逐舰夕凪号一同被田中派来试图阻止盟军舰队运送补给品到岛上。布鲁号遭到严重损坏,有8名船员死亡,次日沉没于图拉吉岛附近(09°17′S160°02′E)。因为此行动是分开发生的,通常不被视为于8月24日-25日直接战斗造成的损失结果。(Evans, Japanese Navy, p. 165, Frank, Guadalcanal, 163–166 and Coombe, Derailing the Tokyo Express, 56–57)
