[3], On 12 November, Atlanta was still off Lunga Point, screening the unloading, as part of TF 67 under Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan in San Francisco. [3], Accordingly, all remaining men except the captain and a demolition party boarded Higgins boats sent out from Guadalcanal for the purpose. [citation needed], In the following years, Denlay and Tysall mounted several larger expeditions to survey Atlanta, exploring and videoing the wreck in detail to a depth of 130 m (427 ft) at the bow. Atlanta operated in TF 64, along with Washington, San Francisco, Helena and two destroyers, as the opposing forces engaged in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on 26 October. On 16 May, she joined Vice Admiral William F. Halsey's Task Force 16 (TF 16), formed around the aircraft carriers Enterprise and Hornet, as it steamed back to Pearl Harbor, having been summoned back to Hawaiian waters in response to an imminent Japanese thrust in the direction of Midway Atoll. The Admiralty also sought to define a new type of light cruiser to replace the old Omaha from the 1920s. Poys the increase of DCA during the war brought many modifications including the addition of ballasts, the removal of TLT, new superstructures more concentrated, for the last launched in 1944-46, Juneau (2), Spokane and Fresno. With the enemy reported to the northwest, Enterprise and Saratoga launched search and attack planes, but they failed to make contact because of deteriorating weather and the fact that the Japanese, knowing that they had been spotted, reversed course. [3], On 15 July 1942, Atlanta, again in TF 16, sailed for Tongatapu. Meanwhile, Akatsuki drifted out of the action and soon sank with heavy loss of life. The force ultimately put into Tongatapu on 6 September, where Atlanta provisioned ship, fueled from New Orleans, and enjoyed a period of upkeep. On 29 July, as all preparations proceeded for the invasion of Guadalcanal, Atlanta was assigned to TF 61. They remained in service between 20 and 25 years, (disarmed 1962-66, even 1973 for Spokane). Japanese planes twice hit TF 17, and it took the brunt of the enemy attacks.

The first four, accepted in emergency in January-February 1942 were immediately precipitated in the hell of the Salomon Islands: two did not return, Atlanta and Juneau, poured together on November 13 near Guadalcanal. Over the next 11 minutes, Atlanta's 5 in (127 mm), 1.1 in (27.9 mm) and 20 mm batteries contributed to the barrage over Enterprise, as the light cruiser conformed to Enterprise's every move as she maneuvered violently to avoid the dive bombers.
