Dr. Robert Ballard (the guy who found the Titanic and Bismarck) also did an expedition to Iron Bottom Sound and published a book titled: "The Lost Ships of Guadalcanal" in 1993. He has pictures of HMAS Canberra, USS Quincy, USS Monssen, USS Barton, USS Laffey, IJN Yudachi, IJN Kirishima, IJN Ayanami, and USS DeHaven. The book is a little over 200 pages, I'm sure it can be found on Amazon if your local library doesn't have a copy.
