The First Battl of Savo Island led to a major disaster for Allied forces. Three American Cruisers and one Australian Cruiser had been sunk by the IJN in night action. The IJN lost no ships.

Some of the sting of this defeat was taken off however, from an American Submarine that attacked and sank one of the IJN Cruisers on their way back home.

What Sub was it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>USS S-44 (SS-155)

[NeoDeo1955]

Yes it was the S-44.

She sunk the Kako as she was returning to port from the First Battle of Savo.

Was it ORP's Dizik and Sokol?

I think this was the type of flag they had:


KEY:
white stripes - sunk enemy merchant ships
red stripes - sunk enemy warships
red stars - gunfire combats
crossed sabres - boardings
dog - operation "Husky" (invasion on Sicily 1943)
greting - forced net barrier

Thanks Mariuszj!

Next question. Back to U-Boats. Many had an insignia painted on the conning tower, in fact, U-boats that didn't were considered odd.

What was the relevance of the 5 Olympic Rings on U-20 and U-23's conning towers?

I've googled for a photo but with no luck I'm afraid.

The Olympic Rings on U 20 and U 23 indicated that the commander of the boat had graduated in 1936. This was in reference to the Olympic Games held in Germany in 1936.

Well done Mariuszj! That took just 5 minutes! I'll have to post harder questions!

Over to you
