Yet, another reference :
DIVISION B. As hereinbefore set out, PTs 162 and 109 of Division B with PT 169 of Division A were in Blackett Strait off Vanga Vanga, as was PT 157, which however, was not in contact with them. Around 0215 the three were due East of Gizo Island headed South, in right echelon formation with PT 109 leading, PT 162 second and PT 169 last.
The area that JFK's PT-109 was sunk in. Blackett Strait being at the southern end of Kolumbangara Island. Solomons.
Hope this helps.
